The club grandees, including the investor, were very surprised by the actions of their ex-coach. At the same time, they strengthened the back of interim trainer Alexander Nouri. But it is probably only a temporary solution until ... yes until who actually? As the kicker now reports, one should still hope for the engagement of ex-FCB coach Niko Kovac at Hertha.

They wanted him before the Klinsmann takeover - but Kovac canceled. Even now, the Croatian should not be immediately available, wants to orientate himself first. However, according to the current report, Hertha wants to start a new attempt at Kovac in order to hire him as a coach from summer. A comeback by ex-coach Pal Dardai is ruled out under Michael Preetz.

Jürgen Klinsmann with spectacular statements after Aus at Hertha BSC

6:25 pm: Klinsmann does not have enough yet, continues to hand out vigorously.

“It is absolutely not true that I am leaving a mess. The team is six points behind the relegation and is physically in a completely different condition than we found it, ”explains the 55-year-old at his Facebook press conference.

Regarding the so harshly criticized Preetz, he continues: “Making contracts with players is great for Michael Preetz in dealing with player advisors. The players who are here now will give us a lot of pleasure in the future. These systems were necessary for the future of Hertha BSC . I am absolutely convinced that we will be even closer to the relegation zone in a few weeks. ”

The video from Jürgen Klinsmann's Facebook press conference

The Swabian, who had already failed at FC Bayern , becomes emotional: "I will continue to be a Hertha fan, I owe it to my father, who took me to Hertha games when he was eight."

He thanks “for ten incredibly intense weeks,” he continues: “The club is going in the right direction. One day it goes to the Champions League . It's not insane to talk about these goals, they are realistic. If you don't define goals, you don't have to get out of bed in the morning. ”

Klinsmann becomes clear in the direction of his critics: "All the shit that was invented there. A week later they chalked me up to close the gates during public training. I only said that they should put the cameras away after half an hour Our training was always broadcast live. I am like that, with corners and edges. "

6.15 p.m .: Jürgen Klinsmann continues on the reasons that led to the separation from Hertha BSC : “We did not manage the division of competencies, and this affects Michael Preetz and me in particular. In Germany, a manager sits on the bank and intervenes. In England, the manager only has one boss, and that's the club's owner. That made me realize that the manager is sitting there and giving his comment to the referee and players. It's just different in Germany, here the managers all have their say. ”

Then I walked in early in the morning, and then I'm just a guy who can't stop at himself. ”

6.10 p.m .: Klinsmann continues to drive up and describes that he never had a contract with Hertha BSC - because both sides never managed to draft one.

Klinsmann: “Then there was a training camp in Florida in early January. We didn't manage to develop a contract for weeks. ”

If you send a negative message, it never comes across well. I would like to apologize for that. I should have spoken to the Hertha leadership. The process has been going on in me for weeks because a lot of things happened in the internal environment that were very difficult for me. I've lived through things in England, France and Italy.

The now 52-year-old had led the Werkself to third place in the 2015/16 Bundesliga season, and reached the Champions League eight-finals with Bayer 04 in 2015 and 2017, which was the final stop against the Spanish club Atlético Madrid.

Leverkusen had got into trouble in the 2016/17 season and managing director Rudi Völler reluctantly parted ways with Schmidt , as the 1990 world champion emphasized several times at the time.

Update from February 11, 10:20 pm : After 76 days in office, Jürgen Klinsmann surprisingly resigned from his position as Hertha BSC coach on Tuesday morning.

Now an old companion Klinsmanns has spoken, with whom he already played at Bayern and in the national team: Lothar Matthäus.

Matthäus on Klinsmann's resignation: "Jürgen is a power man who plays everything or nothing."

It is no secret that the two exceptional players of their time did not have much in common then or today. Now Matthäus handed out again against Klinsmann to the picture . “Jürgen is of course someone who is a power person who then plays everything or nothing. I assume that was crucial, ”said the record national player.

“I am used to a lot from Jürgen - in a positive as well as in a different sense. But of course that blew me away. Jürgen is consistent, he has always been. And he has now shown that again, ”said Matthäus on the day of his resignation about his then competitor. Klinsmann is therefore not a team player, as Matthäus went on to say. “Jürgen, like many center forward, has been very selfish in his career. First me and then the team and the club. Jürgen was always the top priority. ”

Klinsmann resignation: the eternal hostility between Lothar and Klinsi

The hostility between the two ex-professionals leaked more often during their active careers. Klinsmann devoted a few passages especially in Matthäus' biography "Mein Tagebuch", published in 1997. "He was and is clever, cowardly, selfish and above all for money", Matthew was quoted at the time. “And he was the spokesman for the eight international players when they wanted to kill me as Bayern captain. If he denies that today, he is lying as always. ”Despite triumphs like winning the 1990 World Cup or the 1996 European Championship, the players no longer became friends.

Klinsmann resignation: Ex-Hertha coach wanted more power - and flashed off at the club

Update from February 11, 6.30 p.m .: After the surprising resignation of Hertha- Coach Jürgen Klinsmann , further details come to light. The 55-year-old ex-national coach now spoke to the Bild newspaper about his decision.

Klinsmann declares resignation: "It was not a spontaneous decision"

"It was not a spontaneous decision of mine," said Klinsmann , who had felt for a long time that it would probably not work with him as a coach. The ex-international met with his coaching team on Monday evening "to check again whether I was wrong."

At 9:45 a.m. he informed his team, "Then I went to Michael Preetz's office to let him know my decision: 'I won't go on like this.' Then I shook his hand, ”said Klinsmann .

Klinsmann declares resignation: in the German system "I don't find myself again"

Klinsi cites "different ways of thinking and above all different cultures and approaches" as the exact reason for the resignation in the association. "Of course, it is also about the distribution of competencies. In my understanding, a trainer - according to the English model - should bear all athletic responsibility. So also about transfers. That gives the position much more power. "

In the style of a Premier League coach, Klinsmann therefore wanted more power and scope for decision-making and ultimately received a rejection. According to Klinsmann , the system in German football is to blame. "Things developed differently in Germany with sports directors and directors. I don't find myself there. Too much energy is lost for things that are outside the field, ”the ex-top scorer is quoted as saying.

Klinsmann declares resignation: "I took over an Ascension Command"

Klinsmann is also said to have called for a longer-term commitment, but the club abolished him. "I didn't even have a written contract for this season," complained Klinsmann , who then defended his results with the Berliners (three wins, three draws, four defeats). “I took over an Ascension Command and only did worse than hoped in one game. The coaching team had succeeded in stabilizing the team and moving them away from the relegation zone. Hertha BSC is currently in 14th place in the table.

For me personally, that's a real shame. ”Team colleague Per Skjelbred reported that the farewell did not take longer than ten minutes. Dedryck Boyata added: “This is a big shock for us.
