Hertha BSC is still looking for a new club boss. For this, the capital club also negotiated with a prominent name.
Ex-Bayern boss Oliver Kahn has apparently rejected a commitment as the new spokesman for the management at second division Hertha BSC. The “Sport Bild” reports. Accordingly, Kahn, who was CEO of FC Bayern from July 2021 to May 2023, was discussed with Hertha President Fabian Drescher in Berlin last Wednesday.
Kahn was able to imagine working for the Hertha, it is said. Despite the difficult financial situation and the fact that the team plays in the 2nd league, he is said to have seen a lot of potential in the club due to the large followers.
Ultimately, Kahn canceled the Hertha. According to the report, the reason for this is above all the time of the possible commitment. According to the report, this does not fit.
For the Hertha it is not the first cancellation in search of a successor for Thomas Herrich. Ex-HSV boss Jonas Boldt, head of the youth performance center of FC Bayern, Jochen Sauer, the ex-sports manager Hoffenheim, Alexander Rosen, and Austria’s national coach Ralf Rangnick are said to have already given the “old lady”.
According to “Sport Bild”, there have already been discussions with another candidate. It is the former managing director of Arminia Bielefeld, Samir Arabi.
