The Mannheim Tornados have announced on Tuesday that they have parted ways with head coach Cody Puckett. He was at the helm since the offseason. The change at the top of the coaching staff was already made prior to last weekend’s games against the Bad Homburg Hornets in the German Baseball-Bundesliga. New manager in the dugout is former Bundesliga player Alexander Szalay, assisted by Marvin Appiah and Jan Ruessel as hitting and pitching coaches. Mannheim is playing the Buchbinder Legionaere Regensburg this weekend. They welcome Matteo D’Angelo for the first time this season, who just returned from College.
