Rostock, Germany - Former Germany international Dieter Eilts was Friday named as coach of Hansa Rostock, who are struggling in the second division following relegation last season.

The appointment comes just two weeks after Eilts was dismissed as coach of Germany's under-21 side.

Eilts replaces the dismissed Frank Pagelsdorf on a contract until the end of June 2010.

Rostock, Germany - Second-division Hansa Rostock Monday sacked coach Frank Pagelsdorf, a day after fellow-relegated club MSV Duisburg dismissed coach Rudi Bommer.

All three clubs relegated from Germany's top-flight Bundesliga last season have now parted company with their coaches, after Nuremberg dismissed Thomas von Heesen at the end of August.

Pagelsdorf, who had won promotion with Rostock in 1995 and 2007, confirmed at a news conference that he had been dismissed. A successor is yet to be named.

It follows four games without a win which have left Rostock in 12th place, three points away from the relegation zone.
