Hannover 96 have been confirmed as the first side to be relegated from the Bundesliga. Reaching safety became an impossibility after Eintracht Frankfurt’s 2-1 win over Mainz in the final match of matchday 31. On Saturday, Hannover recorded a 2-2 draw with FC Ingolstadt. It is Hannover’s fifth relegation from the Bundesliga after dropping down in 1974, 1976, 1986 and 1989.
“It’s all over...we will be back though! You are never alone – that still applies in division two!” is what Hannover tweeted following the news. Head coach Daniel Stendel is the third man to take the job this season after Michael Frontzeck and Thomas Schaaf, but he couldn’t prevent the Lower Saxony club from dropping out the top flight. In the three games under his leadership, his side have secured two draws and a win.
