Zuzenhausen / Munich - 4th
Hoffenheim's head coach Sebastian Hoeneß is returning to his old place of work.
He was a youth coach at FC Bayern.
His uncle Uli Hoeneß and father Dieter Hoeneß will sit in the stands in the Allianz Arena.
However, the direct duel between the two youngest coaches in the league with Hoffenheim's Hoeneß (39) and Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann (34) is canceled because the ex-Hoffenheim head coach tested positive for the corona virus.
