Season summary
Union started the season poorly, picking up just four points from their first five games, and as a result, manager Norbert Düwel was sacked on 31 August 2015.[ 2] Sascha Lewandowski was appointed as his replacement on 2 September 2015,[ 3] and the club saw a gradual improvement in results, with the club in 13th place with 23 points from 19 games at the time of the winter break.[ 4] However, due to health problems, Lewandowski stepped down as manager in March 2016, with André Hofschneider appointed as his replacement on a temporary basis.[ 5] Union finished the season in 6th place on 49 points.[ 6]
