Wehen Wiesbaden has parted ways with head coach Daniel Scherning and assistant coach Andreas Zimmermann effective immediately. The third-division club announced the decision on Monday.

The decision came after an analysis of the sporting situation and in consultation with the supervisory board.

Sports director Uwe Stöver stated that they had come to the conclusion that the squad needed a new impetus. Scherning had significantly contributed in the previous season to helping the club escape the bottom of the table and temporarily reorient itself upward.

Scherning had taken over the squad during a difficult phase and stabilized it with nine wins from his first 14 league matches. He also led Wehen Wiesbaden to victory in the Hesse Cup 2026 and thus into the DFB-Pokal. However, the development declined in the final phase of the previous season. In the current campaign, Wehen Wiesbaden managed only two points from their first five league matches.

Scherning, who stated he respects the decision, also looked back with satisfaction, noting that he looks back with pride on his time at Wehen Wiesbaden. At the same time, he acknowledged that both sides had imagined the season start differently.

Former assistant coaches Frank Steinmetz and Giuliano Modica will take over the squad on an interim basis. They are preparing the team for the away match at Fortuna Cologne on Wednesday at 7:00 PM CET.
