Bundesliga club Mainz 05 is taking the expected step after a negative series and parting ways with head coach Jan Siewert. The coach was only in office for a short time. The penultimate team has been without a win for eleven games.
Just a few hours after the coach’s dismissal at second division club Hamburger SV, where Tim Walter is no longer coach, Bundesliga club 1. FSV Mainz 05 also parted ways with their coach on Monday: the penultimate team in the table released coach Jan Siewert.
The club bosses were reacting to the ongoing misery of the team, which has been without a win for eleven games. The 41-year-old Siewert was only in office for three months. His successor will be presented on Tuesday afternoon, as the Rheinhessen announced.
“Unfortunately, we now see the change in the coaching position as a necessary step in order to bring about a positive turnaround,” said sports director Christian Heidel.
One win, six draws, five defeats
Siewert initially followed Bo Svensson as interim coach at the beginning of November. Shortly before Christmas, he received a contract until June 30, 2026. Apart from his first game (2-0 against RB Leipzig), the former coach of Mainz’s second team did not win a game and drew six times.

After the 1:3 at VfB Stuttgart on Sunday, FSV sports director Martin Schmidt avoided a commitment to Siewert and announced a detailed analysis. “We will sit down together calmly and see what the next steps are. We have to change something, that’s clear,” said the Swiss. “It is clear that we cannot continue playing like this. We need victories.”

The 05ers have had great coaches like Jürgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel in the past. But even Svensson, who saved Mainz from relegation in 2021 and then finished the season eighth in the table, did not become a permanent solution.
