Max Högl, who took over as the head coach of the Brucker Panthers handball team at the beginning of the season, has been dismissed after a disappointing performance through 23 of the season's 30 games. The decision to end their collaboration comes as team trust in Högl diminished amidst a losing streak, according to Michael Schneck, the head of the handball department. Both the management and Högl mutually agreed that a change was necessary to move forward.
