Mirko Slomka has returned to Hannover as head coach as he looks to guide the club back to the Bundesliga at the first attempt. The 51-year-old German tactician was previously in charge at the HDI-Arena between 2010 and 2013 before he was sacked in December.

Slomka guided Hannover to Europa League qualification in 2011 and 2012, while his star forward during that tenure, Jan Schlaudraff, will now return as the club’s sporting director this time around. Slomka comes in to replace Thomas Doll after Hannover dropped out of the German top-flight when finishing 17th in the table just ahead of bottom side Nuremberg in the 2018-19 season.
