BOCHUM, Germany — Struggling Bundesliga club Bochum has turned to experienced coach Dieter Hecking to save a season which already points to relegation. Bochum has just one point from its first nine games and lost 7-2 against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. Hecking arrives with a contract through to the end of the season and immediately faces a tough task against champion Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday. The 60-year-old Hecking won the German Cup with Wolfsburg in 2015 but hasn't coached in the Bundesliga since leaving Borussia Moenchengladbach in 2019.
