The decision to sack Titz comes after a disappointing start to the 2026/27 campaign, with the team winning just one of their opening five Bundesliga 2 games. This has led to a change in management, with Titz leaving the club after 15 months in charge.
Hannover's CEO Jonas Boldt explained the club's aim to build on last season's success, but unfortunately, this did not materialise as they had hoped. The team finished fourth in last term's second tier, but dropped out of the relegation play-off spot on the final day of the season after letting a lead slip against Nuremberg.
The current season has not started any better, with the Reds winning just two of their six games in all competitions. A DFB Cup first-round victory over Hemelingen was one of their few highlights, but the defeat to Nuremberg last weekend proved to be the final straw.
Titz has expressed his gratitude to the club and fans, wishing them every success for the rest of the season. He will be replaced on an interim basis by U23 coach Lars Barlemann, who will take charge of the first team for the upcoming home match against Bochum.
