VFL Wolfsburg sacked former England coach Steve McClaren on Monday after just nine months in charge, replacing him with his assistant Pierre Littbarski as the club battles to avoid the drop.
"VfL have parted ways with Steve McClaren," Wolfsburg said in a statement, two days after a 0-1 defeat by Hanover 96 left the 2009 Bundesliga champion in 12th place, just a point above the relegation play-off spot. "We were not convinced any more that we could work with Steve McClaren in a solid way until the end of the season," said Wolfsburg manager Dieter Hoeness.
Wolfsburg has managed only one win in its last 11 league games.
McClaren became the first English coach at the helm of a Bundesliga club, fresh from steering Twente Enschede to its maiden Dutch title.
In Spain, Racing Santander fired coach Miguel Angel Portugal following a seven-match winless run that has left the team only a point above the relegation zone.
