Werder Bremen have announced they have sacked head coach Alexander Nouri in the wake of Sunday's 3-0 Bundesliga defeat to Augsburg.
Under-23 boss Florian Kohfeldt has been put in temporary charge of the first team and will oversee preparations for Friday's clash with Eintracht Frankfurt.
"Alex took on a very difficult task last season and did a fantastic job," sporting director Frank Baumann told the club's official website. "He has our thanks for that.
"He has all the qualities of a successful coach, and I'm sure that he will continue his path with success elsewhere.
"We are convinced that this group of coaches can provide some much-needed impetus over the coming days. Hopefully that can rid the insecurity felt among the players, which is palpable following recent results."
Bremen say they hope to appoint a permanent replacement for Nouri during next month's international break.
