Reportedly done deal! German second-division club parts ways with former HSV coach
The bottom-placed team in the German 2. Bundesliga has reacted to their sporting slump and parted ways with their head coach.
German second-division side Holstein Kiel have reportedly parted ways with head coach Tim Walter after matchday 11. This has been reported by several media outlets, including "Sky".
The "Störche" suffered a 1-2 defeat against Arminia Bielefeld last weekend, with a recent upward trend followed by two consecutive losses. As a result, the club sits 18th in the German 2. Bundesliga, at the very bottom of the table.
Ex-Arminia coach set to become successor
The 51-year-old had been in charge of the Northern German club since February 2026. In 24 competitive matches under Walter, Holstein Kiel averaged 1.29 points per game. During his career, Walter has also served as head coach of HSV and Hull City.
The favorite to succeed him is reported to be Mitch Kniat, former head coach of Arminia Bielefeld.
