Hertha BSC pulls the ripcord at Bruno Labbadia and separates from the coach.
An old friend should take over by summer.
Hertha BSC and Bruno Labbadia go their separate ways
- the 1: 4 against Bremen marked the 54-year-old's last game after around nine months.
The expulsion of Labbadia was already
indicated
after the
bankruptcy against Bremen
- but in addition to the coach,
manager Michael Preetz also has to take
his hat off.
At 1 p.m. Labbadia wants to
speak
at a press conference with
Preetz
.
Update from January 24th, 2:19 p.m.:
While Arne Friedrich is now
replacing
Michael Preetz at
Hertha BSC
, the successor to
Bruno Labbadia
has not yet been determined.
However, this will probably be announced on Monday.
"Tomorrow is a good day," said Hertha managing director Carsten Schmidt on Sunday in a digital media talk.
The 57-year-old had previously confirmed that ex-coach Pal Dardai was one of the candidates.
“We want someone on the pitch on Tuesday who will weld us together and enable us to get something from Eintracht Frankfurt on the weekend,” said Schmidt.
Update from January 24th, 12:52 p.m.:
The Hertha quake goes into the next round!
As has now been officially confirmed by the club, in addition to Labbadia, manager Michael Preetz has also been released.
The
dismissal of Preetz
is not really surprising.
There has also been speculation about his departure in recent weeks.
Here is an excerpt from the official press release: "After the disappointing results and the negative sporting development of the past few weeks, the Hertha BSC Presidium decided, after detailed discussions, to part with Managing Director Sport Michael Preetz with immediate effect."
Ex-national player
Arne Friedrich
will take over the Preetz successor as sports director at Hertha.

Bruno Labbadia is thrown out of Hertha BSC - his successor has already been determined
First
report
from January 24, 2021:
Munich - According to matching media reports, the dismissal of Bruno Labbadia at Hertha BSC is official.
Ex-Berlin coach
Pál Dárdai
should take over by the end of the season.
Dárdai is currently training the Hertha BSC U16s.
It is unclear whether Dárdai will also be considered as a long-term solution.
Numerous candidates are being traded as successors - a coach was also under discussion at Bayern.
The
picture
claims to have found out that Labbadia officially said goodbye to its players on Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. before training began.
Even before the game against Bremen, the 54-year-old was criticized by the capital club - the clear
1: 4 against Werder Bremen
then brought the barrel to overflowing.
Labbadia thrown out at Hertha BSC - the last results brought the barrel to overflow
After the bankruptcy, Berlin finds itself on a disappointing
14th place in the table
- with as many points (17) as climber Arminia Bielefeld.
Currently the "old lady" separates only two points from the
relegation place
.
In addition, there is the cup-out against Eintracht Braunschweig in the first round.
Far too little for the ambitions of Hertha and investor
Lars Windhorst
, who had set the
goal of Europe
before the season
.
Labbadia managed the fortunes of the Berlin team for just nine months.
At 12.30 p.m. he wants to take a
stand on his end
at a press conference with manager
Michael Preetz
.
Previously, the
Bild had
reported that Preetz is also about to end at Hertha.
There is no update yet.
Hertha BSC parted ways with Bruno Labbadia - last games "a single disappointment"
Immediately after the defeat against Bremen,
statements by players, the coach himself and those responsible
indicated an
early dismissal
.
Defender Niklas Stark, for example, did not stand in front of his coach after the final whistle and said: “I don't want to comment on that, that's not my thing.
I give 100 percent every day and try to get out of there with the team.
That is not my question. "
Labbadia itself was understandably very disappointed:
“Of course we are currently lacking the arguments.
We are the last to gloss over something.
We have a brutal disappointment.
That’s a shitty feeling. ”On Saturday evening
, Preetz spoke in plain language in the ZDF sports studio
and said the last results were“ a single disappointment ”.
A separation between Hertha and Labbadia was probably already a done deal at this point.
