The announcement was made following a meeting on Sunday attended by key figures at the club, including managing director Peter Christiansen and sporting director Sebastian Schindzielorz, who deliberated the future of Hasenhüttl ahead of the final two matches of the season.
The consensus was reached to terminate Hasenhüttl's contract.
