Football second division Hertha BSC has apparently came one step further in his efforts to find a successor to managing director Thomas E. Herrich. With a candidate, the Berliners are in concrete conversations.
Hertha BSC started negotiations with Samir Arabi. This reports “Bild”. There is talk about the position of managing director Sport, the exchange began at the end of last week under the direction of club president Fabian Drescher.
The 46 -year -old Arabi is now considered a “hottest candidate” to inherit Thomas E. Herrich. At the end of April, the 61-year-old announced that he would end his work as managing director at Berliners at the end of June after three years. Herrich has been working for the old lady since 2005, and also a member of the management since 2009. In 2022 he was appointed managing director by the Presidium.
Arabi gained plenty of experience with Arminia Bielefeld between 2011 and 2023, where he first acted as a sporting director and then as managing director. Finally, according to “Bild”, the former scout was also traded at the English club Leeds United, and the 1. FC Köln should also be interested.
