The 0: 3 at KSC is too much: Coach Robert Klauß has to go to FCN.

Nuremberg – 1. FC Nuremberg has parted ways with coach Robert Klauß after a disappointing season.

As the Franconian second division soccer team announced, the 37-year-old was released from his duties late on Sunday evening.

“We regret this decision, but it was unavoidable.

Robert has done a good job here for more than two seasons.

However, the development in the past few weeks has not been satisfactory at all,” explained Nuremberg sports director Dieter Hecking.

The “Club” recently lost 3-0 at Karlsruher SC and is only 14th in the table.

"The way the team played in Karlsruhe and in a few games before that was unacceptable.

We would all have been happy if we could have continued on our path of continuity combined with successful games," Hecking continued.

Klauss took over from Nuremberg in the summer of 2020.

At that time he came to Franconia as an assistant coach from RB Leipzig.

Until further notice, the two assistant coaches Ersan Parlatan and Frank Steinmetz will look after the team.
