The first one only arrived on December 4th, which has HSV fans worried about relegation once more.

Therefoore the coach, Markus Gisdol, at the club since September 26th, and the board have decided to terminate the contract of their player as he is not in their plans anymore for the Rückrunde. The head coach declared on the official website of the club that this decision is "for the best" of both club and player.
On the look for another club once again
With many injuries, the player no longer fits in with the Bundesliga side. This decision has been taken after a long reflection period according to the head coach: "We have been working on a transformation process within the squad in the past few weeks." As a result, that decision was made.

The first time it was at Bayer Leverkusen where he was forced to leave following a violent dispute with a steward at the BayArena. After this event, Emir Spahic had been told to find a new club, then he had joined HSV. Though now, he must find a new club again.
