Bundesliga: Union Berlin Sack Coach Bjelica Amid Relegation Fights

Bundesliga strugglers Union Berlin on Monday sacked coach Nenad Bjelica with Marco Grote stepping in as interim boss with two games left this season.

The club fell 4-3 at home to Bochum on Sunday to sit 15th in the Bundesliga, one-point ahead of Mainz who occupy the relegation play-off spot.

Grote, 51, will work alongside current assistant coaches Marie-Louise Eta and Sebastian Boenig with the next league game against relegation rivals Cologne on Saturday.
