Regardless of a possible relegation, manager Fredi Bobic has announced significant changes at Hertha BSC for the coming season. “Of course, no matter what happens, there will be a major upheaval. That’s clear,” said Bobic on the Sky TV channel.
The Berliners missed early relegation in the 2-1 draw against FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday. Should VfB Stuttgart lose at Bayern on Sunday, Hertha would still be saved.

As long as nothing is perfect, Bobic does not want to talk about the coaching question. “I have a good relationship with Felix. We’re not through yet. When we’re through, we’ll get together. There’s nothing to talk about. We don’t have any facts on the table,” said Bobic. Magath has a contract until the end of the season. Most recently, the “kicker” reported that the club was dealing with Sandro Schwarz.
Hertha withdraws clause from Lotka!
Looking at goalkeeper Marcel Lotka, Bobic confirmed that Hertha had drawn a corresponding clause. “It’s going to be a legal thing now. We want to talk about it calmly when it’s all over,” said Bobic. “He also signed a contract in Dortmund.”

Originally, Lotka’s move to BVB had already been announced. Hertha wants to reverse the departure. The 20-year-old Pole was actually only keeper number five at Hertha and played in the regional league.
Due to illness and injuries, Lotka moved into the goal of the professionals at the end of February.
