SpVgg Greuther Furth, the team which once had an interest in Mamelodi Sundowns striker Nyasha Mushekwi when the season began, were relegated together with Fortuna Dusseldorf.
On Saturday, Augsburg hammered Greuther Furth 3-0 to secure their future in the Bundesliga.
It was also good news for the Warriors duo of Khama Billiat and Tafadzwa Rusike in the South African Premiership as their club Ajax Cape Town avoided the play-off spot by finishing a place above Benjani Mwaruwari’s Chippa United.
Benjani and his Chippa will now feature in the play-offs.
Even though Ajax secured their stay in the Premiership, the Zimbabweans are unlikely to be in the team’s dressing room when the new season gets underway in August.
Billiat is likely to head to Johannesburg to Kaizer Chiefs while Rusike, who once went to Belgium for trials, might get a contract with a European club.
Warriors’ midfielder, Abbas Amidu, and his team Black Leopards, who are under Sunday Chidzambwa, were relegated on Saturday.
Yesterday, Amidu said it was tragic they failed to secure their place in Super Diski for yet another season.

The Botswana Premiership is yet to be concluded but Chiefs now have an unassailable lead of 62 points with three matches to go while their closest rivals Nico United have 54 points with two matches to go.
For winning the league title, Ndlovu’s team will pocket 1 million pula. Zimbabwe striker, Sageby Sandaka, was also basking in glory when his team Gaborone United won the Mascom Top 8 over the weekend.
