Hannover are back in a relegation battle, just two points above the bottom three in 15th place.

The young coach became the first Turkish international to take over a Bundesliga club when he was appointed Hannover manager last season.

It was the first senior coaching job for the former Fenerbahçe midfielder who previously worked as a youth team coach at Real Sociedad, Hoffenheim and VfB Stuttgart.
