MSV Duisburg said yesterday they have sacked Juergen Kohler - the 10th Bundesliga coach to be fired this season and the second at the relegation-threatened club.

Duisburg, without a win in their last five matches, have slipped to second from bottom with six matches left. They named assistant coach Heiko Scholz as Kohler's replacement until the end of the season Kohler, a member of the West German team that won the 1990 World Cup, took over at Duisburg on December 17 after the club had sacked Norbert Meier.
