Eight points from ten games, 13th place in the second division table, and most recently even a 2:3 against the struggling club - Fortuna Düsseldorf is far behind its own expectations this season. The club has now taken action.
Fortuna is parting ways with Daniel Thioune with immediate effect. The 51-year-old took over Düsseldorf in 2022 and saved it from relegation. Under Thioune, Fortuna then became a promotion contender.
In the 2023/24 season, the club narrowly missed out on promotion against VfL Bochum in the relegation playoffs and also exited the DFB Cup in the semi-finals against Leverkusen.
Thioune's successor, however, seems to have already been decided. As 'Bild' and 'Sky' report, former Lautern coach Markus Anfang is expected to lead the Westphalians back into the promotion battle.
