Daniel Stendel officially takes over at Hearts on TuesdayDaniel Stendel claims his contract was terminated immediately when he left his role as head coach of Championship club Barnsley in October. Stendel begins life as Hearts boss on Tuesday with Barnsley seeking a claim for compensation against Hearts. Hearts say Barnsley's case is "completely without merit" and that they followed "all proper procedures" over Stendel's appointment. They also claimed earlier this season Stendel had "entered into negotiations with a rival Championship club to take over their managerial post". "This event, coupled with numerous other issues, led to removal of Mr Stendel as head coach," the club said.
