Rescuer Felix Magath settles accounts with Hertha

From BZ editors

Clear words from Felix Magath (68) AGAINST Hertha! In an interview with “Kicker”, the rescuer coach attacks the club and leadership after the relegation averted at the last moment in the relegation against HSV (2:0 and 0:1)!


Magath clearly: “There was no major problem. There were only problems!” “Magic Magath” was particularly concerned about the lack of support from the Hertha bosses “foosball” on.

The trainer: “I happened to meet my predecessor Tayfun Korkut in the hotel underground car park when he had to leave Berlin. So we talked briefly. Tayfun told me that it was difficult for him because he had no help at all. And I can only say: During the nine weeks I also had the feeling that I had no help.”

In the interview, he also draws comparisons to his position as coach at VfB Stuttgart in 2001, which he also saved from relegation: “That was just as difficult a number. But there was broad support from everyone. In Berlin, the mood was more like: Paragraph 1 – everyone does their own thing.”

Magath settles accounts with Hertha!

The coach about his ex-team: “We got them so far that they stick together.” But he didn’t see “across the board” “that the club is defending itself against relegation.” Rather, there was massive “support “ missing.

And about Hertha manager Fredi Bobic (50): “He has taken on problems that have not only been there since last week. This club has now been close to relegation for the third year in a row. It didn’t come suddenly, it must be a structural problem.” Bobic is the “sufferer” in the club.

While the Hertha project is over for Magath, Bobic is trying to do better for the coming season in Berlin. He could present Magath’s successor next week.
