Bundesliga strugglers Greuther Fuerth on Wednesday confirmed that they had parted company with coach Mike Bueskens, with the team currently sitting 14 points from safety at the foot of the table. The 44-year-old took charge of Fuerth in 2009 and steered them to promotion last season, when they reached the Bundesliga for the first time in their history.
