In a bid to revive their Bundesliga fortunes, struggling Mainz 05 has appointed Bo Henriksen as their new head coach until 2026. The Danish tactician, arriving from FC Zurich, steps in to steer the team out of the relegation zone after the departure of Jan Siewert, who was relieved of his duties with Mainz languishing in 17th place.

Mainz 05’s sporting director, Christian Heidel, expressed confidence in Henriksen’s ability to rejuvenate the team’s performance, citing his track record of uniting squads and implementing a pragmatic yet effective style of football. With just one victory in 21 league outings this season, Mainz 05 aims to turn the tide under Henriksen’s guidance.

Their first test under the new coach comes on Saturday as Mainz hosts Augsburg, where the team will strive to translate Henriksen’s strategic vision into tangible results on the pitch. As Mainz embarks on this new chapter, all eyes will be on the players to deliver a spirited performance and secure a much-needed victory.

Established in 1905, Mainz 05, based in Mainz, Germany, has a storied history marked by triumphs and challenges, including Bundesliga participation. Supported by passionate fans, the club has nurtured talent and developed a unique playing style. Committed to excellence, Mainz 05 looks forward to continued success and growth with the new head coach Bo Henriksen.
