German outfit Union Berlin have parted ways with coach Urs Fischer after a 14-game winless run in all competitions.

In his five years in charge, Fischer led Union from the second division to the Bundesliga for the first time and then into European competition. He took the club into the Champions League after placing fourth last season to continue their impressive rise.
