Felix Magath, new coach of Hertha BSC, tests positive for the corona virus.

The Berliners promptly sign an ex-FC Bayern player as a replacement.

Munich/Berlin – 68 years old, Franke, ex-coach of FC Bayern*: He should save Hertha BSC from relegation from the Bundesliga* – actually.

We're talking about Felix Magath, who is considered rigorous and has already coached VfB Stuttgart, VfL Wolfsburg, Eintracht Frankfurt and FC Schalke nationally.

Hertha BSC: Positive corona test for ex-Bayern coach Felix Magath

But: This Thursday, the Berliners announced that a corona test by the warhorse coach was positive.

That's why he will miss the originally planned Bundesliga comeback on the sidelines against 1899 Hoffenheim on Saturday (3:30 p.m.).

Magath should prevent Hertha's first relegation since 2010 after the board around sports director Fredi Bobic fired predecessor Tayfun Korkut after five defeats in a row and only two points from the last nine games.

The former Bayern coach (2004 - 2007) * had to go into quarantine in his hotel room.

In the evening, Hertha reacted to the short-term absence of their hopefuls, whom Bobic had certified as having a "hard hand".

It's a real surprise: The Berliners signed former Munich Mark van Bommel as the next interim coach.

And for only two games, as the club announced on Twitter.

So presumably for the period that Magath has to spend in quarantine – at best.

The club from Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf wrote in a short message on Twitter: "After the positive COVID-19 test result of our head coach Felix Magath, Mark van Bommel will accompany the team as interim coach for the next 2 games!

Good luck Mark!”

Max Kruse leaves Union Berlin: Return to VfL Wolfsburg

Max Kruse surprisingly leaves 1. FC Union Berlin and returns to VfL Wolfsburg.

The Lower Saxony confirmed this in a press release on Sunday evening, as did the Bundesliga soccer rivals from the capital.

Kruse will sign a contract this Monday until June 30, 2023, subject to the sports medical examination.

Max Kruse leaves Union Berlin: Return to VfL Wolfsburg

Van Bommel is returning to a Bundesliga coaching chair sooner than expected after the 44-year-old Dutchman was sacked in Wolfsburg in October – after just 13 games and a gross mistake in the DFB Cup*.

Van Bommel had substituted six instead of the allowed five players against the regional league.

The DFB sports court then rated the game 0:2 from the point of view of the overwhelmingly favored Lower Saxony.

So now the former midfield leader of the German Bundesliga record champions should set things right in the capital - until his ex-coach Magath can really go to the sidelines again.
