After the exit from the DFB Cup and the 1:2 home defeat in the 2nd Bundesliga against Hamburger SV, Hertha BSC is probably only interested in the proverbial golden pineapple in terms of sport this season. So it’s no wonder that speculation about the future of coach Pál Dárdai is gaining momentum.
According to the “kicker”, it is unclear whether Dárdai’s contract as head coach of his favorite club, which expires next summer, will be extended.
It is said that the current sporting situation should not cause enthusiasm among club investor 777 Partners. The US company has already spoken out against Hertha BSC’s decision for Dárdai twice: in April 2023, when the 47-year-old initially took over as a firefighter for the dismissed Sandro Schwarz, and again when the Old Lady hired him after relegation chosen as architects of the new building in the House of Commons.
Explosive: The club president Kay Bernstein, who recently died under tragic circumstances, is said to have been one of the greatest Dárdai advocates in both cases.
This internal support for the record Bundesliga player from Hertha BSC is now no longer available. The possibility of a change in the coaching bench does not seem to be at all out of the question.
Hertha BSC threatens to leave Fabian Reese
According to the “kicker” report, the further whereabouts of top scorer Fabian Reese in Berlin is also uncertain, despite his contract running until 2026.
The 26-year-old is headed to the Bundesliga next season. With Hertha BSC, this goal is unlikely to be achieved given that they are now ten points behind third place.
After all: Contrary to recent rumors, there are signs of a constant at the top of the club.
According to “kicker”, managing director Thomas E. Herrich’s contract, which expires in October, is to be extended. The 59-year-old has been working for Hertha BSC in various functions since 2000. He took on the current boss role in the summer of 2020.
