(Reuters) - Union Berlin have appointed Steffen Baumgart to become their new manager, the Bundesliga club said on Monday, after the German capital side parted ways with Bo Svensson last week.
The 52-year-old Baumgart is set to take charge of the team from Jan. 2 for the rest of their Bundesliga campaign. Union parted ways with coach Bo Svensson and members of his staff on Friday after a poor run of form.
