Michael Frontzeck named as Korkut's replacement at Hannover

Following Tayfun Korkut's dismissal, Bundesliga strugglers Hannover have appointed Michael Frontzeck as their new coach.

Michael Frontzeck has been named the new coach of Bundesliga strugglers Hannover going into the final five games of the season. 

With the club just two points clear of the relegation zone, Hannover opted to sack Korkut on Monday after going winless thus far in 2015.

Having taken charge in December 2013, Korkut guided the club to a 10th-place finish at the end of last season, but Hannover struggled badly this season and has won just seven of its 29 league matches.
