Important first-team players such as Kevin Kurányi, Alexander Hleb, and Philipp Lahm were replaced with Jon Dahl Tomasson, Thomas Hitzlsperger, and Ludovic Magnin. During Trapattoni's 20 games at the helm, Stuttgart produced poor results (5 wins, 12 draws, and 3 losses). Denmark internationals Jon Dahl Tomasson and Jesper Grønkjær openly criticised their coach, claiming he was afraid to attack. Trapattoni immediately responded by dropping both players to the bench. With the atmosphere in the team worsening, he was sacked after just seven months, on 9 February 2006, reportedly for "not fulfilling the ambitions of the club".VfB Stuttgart schmeißt Trapattoni hinaus https://www.welt.de/sport/article197159/VfB-Stuttgart-schmeisst-Trapattoni-hinaus.html 31 January 2013 Die Welt 10 February 2006 de He was replaced as manager by Armin Veh.
