Hannover 96, for which American Steve Cherundolo starts at right back and serves as vice captain, became the first Bundesliga club to discard its coach in the 2006-07 season. After Hannover lost its first three games by a combined score of 11-2, the club accepted Peter Neururer‘s resignation. Hannover’s next coach will be the Cherundolo’s eighth since the 27-year-old Californian joined the German club in January of 1999. … In Belgium, Standard Liege coach Johan Boskamp was sacked after four games, from which the team that has American Oguchi Onyewu on the backline earned just two points. Standard Liege was runner-up last season.
