Augsburg boss Heiko Herrlich missed his side’s 2-1 home loss against Wolfsburg on Saturday after breaking lockdown restrictions to buy toothpaste.
The 48-year-old had earlier said: “I have no toothpaste and then I went to a supermarket.”
And in a statement, Herrlich added: “I made a mistake by leaving the hotel.
“Even though I have followed all hygiene measures both when leaving the hotel and otherwise, I cannot undo this.
“In this situation, I was not able to act as a role model for my team and the public.
“I will therefore be consistent and stand by my mistake.
“Because of this misconduct, I will not be leading the training [on Friday] and will not be in charge of the team against Wolfsburg on Saturday.”
Having been appointed in March, this would have been Herrlich’s first match in charge.
