Struggling Hamburg SV have appointed Markus Gisdol as their new coach, hours after sacking Bruno Labbadia in the wake of a fourth straight Bundesliga defeat.
Gisdol, who formerly coached Hoffenheim and was briefly an assistant at Schalke 04, signed a contract until the end of the season.
"The board signed Markus Gisdol late on Sunday evening. The 47-year old football coach arrived on Sunday for negotiations in Hamburg and signed, according to his own wish, a contract until June 30, 2017," the club said in a statement on Monday.
Gisdol has his work cut out, with the northern club having lost their last four league games, including Saturday's 1-0 loss to champions Bayern Munich.
The coach will be officially presented later on Monday.
