Union Berlin are to announce that they will part ways with manager Nenad Bjelica in the summer due to the underperformance during his tenure, Kicker reports.

Having climbed out of the relegation zone initially through a streak of wins in January and February, it seemed like Nenad Bjelica would guide Union Berlin comfortably to safety.

However, since then he has currently not won in five games since mid-March and his side sit only two points above Mainz in 16th with three games to go.

Although it had been considered (according to Kicker) that Bjelica may be dismissed fully this week. The club are rumoured to be looking toward the Bochum game as an indicator.

If they were to lose their next game, a sacking is reportedly not out of option.
