Germany sack Jones as national team coach
Germany’s Steffi Jones

STEFFI JONES was fired as manager of the German national team today following a string of poor results.

The 2016 Olympic champions finished last in the four-team SheBelieves Cup, which was won by the host United States last week.

Under Jones, the six-time defending European champions were eliminated in the quarter-finals of the 2017 tournament, losing to Denmark.
