A legal dispute is imminent
On January 28, Hertha BSC announced the surprising separation from sporting director Fredi Bobic. The “Old Lady” had previously lost the important city derby against Union Berlin. According to President Kay Bernstein, Bobic’s exit was not a short-term decision, but “well thought out”. And although the club boss made it clear that the separation would take place without any disputes, he added “Image” report an entirely different conclusion.
According to the newspaper, Hertha has now given his ex-sports director a termination without notice. The matter is therefore a matter for lawyers, and a legal dispute is imminent. The “foosball” and “rbb” confirmed relevant information. The bosses would accuse Bobic of club-damaging behavior. The chances of success are considered manageable for the club. Alleged background of the Hertha advance: After the bankruptcy against Union – a few moments before the official separation – Bobic became abusive to an “rbb” reporter in an interview (“If you ask again, you’ll get a scour”), for which he later apologized.

The fact that Hertha Bobic is said to have resigned without notice could also be related to financial motives. In the course of the early separation, the manager received a six-figure severance payment, writes the “Bild”. This sum is well below the salary that Bobic would have received by the end of his regular contract in 2024. With the exemption, the club also prevented Bobic’s contract from being able to be extended prematurely to 2026 through an option in February. The ex-national striker is said to have collected 3 million euros a year.

Hertha BSC had invested 34.3 million euros in new signings in the Bobic era, which is offset by income of 77.3 million euros from player sales. When asked by “rbb”, Bernstein kept a low profile on the forthcoming legal dispute, asking for your understanding “that we do not comment on contractual matters, we are of course trying to find an amicable solution”. As a successor solution, the president presented Benjamin Weber as the new sports director and the former Hertha professional Andreas Neuendorf as the “link” between the academy and the license area at the end of January.
“… you get a scrubbed”: After the 0: 2 bankruptcy against Union, the then Hertha sports director Bobic burst the collar. He threatens an rbb reporter with a cuff if he asks a question about the trainer again. (Won’t happen because Bobic was fired shortly after.) pic.twitter.com/PEEpyxxqbs
