Mainz hired Bo Henriksen as coach on Tuesday as it tries to avoid relegation from the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/harry-kane-scores-in-injury-hit-bayern-win-over-augsburg-in-bundesliga-23332180" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Bundesliga</a>.

Henriksen joins from Swiss club Zurich and is the second Danish coach at Mainz this season after Bo Svensson resigned in November.
Mainz's head of sport Christian Heidel said the club hopes Henriksen's "pragmatic, yet courageous and ultimately successful, brand of football" will be a good fit for the relegation fight.
Mainz hosts Augsburg on Saturday. Mainz has been ever-present in the top flight since 2009. In the past, the club has helped launched the careers of coaches including <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/jurgen-klopp-announces-he-will-step-down-as-liverpool-manager-at-end-of-the-season-23332009" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jurgen Klopp</a> and Thomas Tuchel.
Initially as a caretaker coach, Siewert won his first game in charge against Leipzig and was given a two-and-a-half-year contract in December but did not win again. That remains Mainz's only win of the season in the Bundesliga.
