Overview
- Arminia Bielefeld confirmed that head coach Mitch Kniat and co‑trainers Dani Jara and Janik Steringer have left the club by mutual agreement.
- The club and Kniat said the split followed smaller overlaps in their ideas for future planning and that a change in sporting direction is needed.
- Kniat spent three years at Arminia, guiding the team from the third division to the 2. Bundesliga and to the DFB‑Pokal final against VfB Stuttgart.
- This season Arminia fought relegation and only secured survival with a decisive 6:1 win over Hertha BSC on the final matchday, a factor that shaped the club’s assessment of priorities.
- Arminia has not announced a successor, which means the club will begin a coaching search focused on a new tactical and roster plan and supporters should expect further staff changes.
