Hoffenheim and coach Schreuder part ways with four Bundesliga games to play

Hoffenheim head coach Alfred Schreuder has left the club on Tuesday with only four matches of the Bundesliga campaign remaining.

The 47-year-old Dutchman rejoined the German outfit - after two seasons as assistant between 2015 and 2017 - as head coach at the start of the campaign on a three-year contract.

Hoffenheim have tasted just one defeat since the resumption of the Bundesliga last month and sit two points behind Wolfsburg in the final Europa League qualification spot, despite a 2-2 draw at struggling Dusseldorf at the weekend.

However, Schreuder and Hoffenheim's hierarchy cited differences in opinion on how to take the club forward, with the head coach leaving his role alongside brother and assistant Dick.
