After an initial improvement under the former Huddersfield manager. since returning from the winter break Mainz have not improved and are still yet to win their second game of the season whilst they currently sit 17th in the Bundesliga and sit nine points from safety.

Mainz will announce their new head coach on Tuesday afternoon. Sky Germany suggests that Mainz’s under-19 coach Benjamin Hoffmann is an option. This would follow a similar path to that of Svensson.

With relegation looking increasingly likely, this could be Mainz’s plan to prepare themselves for life in the 2.Bundesliga as they need something close to a miracle to survive.
