BERLIN, April 1 (Reuters) – Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday

sacked coach Robin Dutt after less than a season in charge

following their 2-0 home defeat by Freiburg on Saturday that

left them battling to stay in contention for a European spot.

Former Liverpool and Leverkusen defender Sami Hyypia and

Sascha Lewandowski were named as interim coaches at6 last

season’s runners-up.

The duo will remain in charge “at least” until the end of

the current campaign, the club said in a statement.

Leverkusen are in sixth place ahead of Werder Bremen and VfL

Wolfsburg on goal difference.

Dutt had taken over last year following a successful stint

at Freiburg.
