Jonas Boldt has been relieved of his duties as Hannover 96's managing director for sport.

Hannover 96 have confirmed the dismissal of Jonas Boldt as managing director for sport.

The decision comes with Hannover sitting 16th in the 2. Bundesliga after nine games of the season.

Having most recently suffered a 0-2 defeat to Kaiserslautern in the DFB-Pokal, Hannover are now winless in their last four matches across all competitions.

Boldt only took up the position at the beginning of June, meaning his tenure lasted less than five months.
