Schalke sack Stevens

Champions League competitors Schalke 04 have sacked coach Huub Stevens after a poor domestic run, culminating in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Freiburg which saw them drop to seventh in the Bundesliga, the club said on Sunday.
Dutchman Stevens, who will be replaced by youth team coach Jens Keller, was in his second stint at Schalke after taking over in September 2011.
