Bundesliga strugglers Stuttgart sack Alexander Zorniger

Stuttgart have sacked head coach Alexander Zorniger after a poor start to the Bundesliga season.
Zorniger only took charge in the summer after Stuttgart narrowly avoided relegation last year.
However, he has been dismissed along with his entire coaching staff following a 4-0 defeat to second-from-bottom Augsburg at the weekend.
"The manner of last Saturday's defeat has kept us very busy," said club president Bernd Wahler in a statement. "In the aftermath, we analysed the team and the coaching staff and came to this conclusion."
Under-23 coach Jurgen Kramny has been promoted as caretaker for Saturday's trip to second-placed Borussia Dortmund.
Stuttgart have just 10 points from 13 games this term and boast the worst defence in the German top flight with 31 goals conceded.
