Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart fired its head coach, Pellegrino Matarazzo, Monday. 

According to a club statement, the American-born coach was relieved of his duties, and no decision has been made regarding a successor. 

Matarazzo, who has managed the club for 100 matches, was the only American managing in the German top flight after Jesse Marsch's departure from RB Leipzig last season. 

His departure comes as Stuttgart has not won a match in the league this season. The team has lost three in a row, most recently to surprise league leaders Union Berlin.

"I’ll always be grateful for being given the chance to get my foot on the coaching ladder here. VfB are a special club, which you only understand once you’re a part of it. I wish this team, this club with these fans all the very best and the maximum success."
