Augsburg head coach Heiko Herrlich will miss the Bundesliga restart after breaching quarantine rules by leaving the team hotel to buy toothpaste.

Herrlich, whose side face Wolfsburg on Saturday, told a news conference on Thursday that he had visited a shop, breaking league rules.

Teams preparing for the German league to restart this weekend have been staying in quarantine.

"I made a mistake by leaving the hotel," he said in a statement later.

Herrlich, 48, was appointed on 10 March and the home match with Wolfsburg was set to be his first in charge.

"Even though I have followed all hygiene measures both when leaving the hotel and otherwise, I cannot undo this," he said. "In this situation, I was not able to act as a role model for my team and the public.

"I will therefore be consistent and stand by my mistake. Because of this misconduct, I will not be leading the training [on Friday] and will not be in charge of the team against Wolfsburg on Saturday."

Speaking at a video news conference earlier, he had said: "I have no toothpaste and then I went to a supermarket."

The club said players and staff are being regularly tested for coronavirus and Herrlich will be able to resume training after two negative test results.

Augsburg are 14th in the Bundesliga, five points above the relegation zone.

Germany, we've already applauded you guys for your strict guidelines that have helped fast track your recovery, but don't over flog it. This kind of news is just an attempt to further polish your self righteous image and I'm not buying it. If the coach broke protocol, punish him and get on with it, don't put it on every news headline to force it down our throats that you're doing the right thing.

Good call because you can never know who he came across in that store

No special treatment, and i think that's alright by me. He admits he was wrong. Rules are rules.

I still wonder why there was no toothpaste in the camp
