According to media reports, Werner Gegenbauer has resigned as President of Hertha BSC.
The 71-year-old, who was recently criticized by million-dollar investor Lars Windhorst, preempted a possible deselection at the general meeting of the Berlin Bundesliga club on Sunday, reported the “Wirtschaftswoche” and the “Bild” on Tuesday.
Berlin – Gegenbauer had led the club since 2008.
Hertha did not confirm the resignation on request.
In addition to Gegenbauer, according to the "Tagesspiegel" (Tuesday), CFO Ingo Schiller is also resigning.
This would make Fredi Bobic the only remaining managing director of the Berliners, after Carsten Schmidt had already resigned for personal reasons last year.
Bobic wants to describe the club's situation at a press conference on Tuesday (1 p.m.).
Hertha held the class on Monday evening with a 2-0 win in the second leg of the relegation against Hamburger SV.
