Dardai had not been able to lead the team in the desired direction after his coach return in January and relegation in the preseason.
“We would like to express our thanks to Pal for his work.
He took over the team last season and kept it in the class under challenging circumstances, ”said Bobic.
The Hertha table is currently 14.
with only one point ahead of the relegation rank.
Dardai had managed to keep the capital city club from relegation last season, but in the past few months followed the still high demands of the club, which investor Lars Windhorst had declared a "Big City Club", and ultimately forced the leadership to take this step. The club wore out five coaches in Ante Covic, Jürgen Klinsmann, Alexander Nouri, Bruno Labbadia and Dardai in the past two and a half years.
Dardai had only taken over the post in January last year for the second time after the period from February 2015 to mid-2019.
After the secured league stay, the Berliners got off to a bad start into the new season.
Public statements by Dardai were criticized by Bobic.
The leadership has probably not been behind the coach unreservedly for a long time.
Most recently, possible victories against Leverkusen and Augsburg were gambled away shortly before the end, in between there was the sobering 0-2 in the derby at 1. FC Union Berlin.
