Stuttgart coach quits

Huub Stevens will leave VfB Stuttgart after fulfilling his contract to keep them in the Bundesliga for the second year running, their sports director Robin Dutt confirmed Sunday.
Stuttgart's 2-1 win at Paderborn on Saturday on the final day of the season lifted them from amongst the relegation places up into 14th to avoid their first relegation since 1975 as Stevens kept them up for the second year in succession.
Stuttgart earned their third straight league win with goals by Daniel Didavi and Daniel Ginczek after bottom side Paderborn, who were relegated by the defeat, had taken an early lead.
Dutt said that Stevens will leave and a press conference has been called for Monday.
