Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche (L) and chairman of the advisory board Manfred Bischoff pose for the media at the Daimler annual shareholder meeting in Berlin April 10, 2013. German premium carmaker Daimler is likely to cut its profit expectations for the year, after it said on Wednesday that its core European markets continue to weaken. Daimler has fallen far behind German rivals BMW and Audi due to deep-seated problems in China, and the latest profit warning is another dent in the credibility of Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche, whose contract extension in February nearly ended in a boardroom coup.
