Werner Gegenbauer resigns as President of Hertha BSC.
The 71-year-old confirmed corresponding media reports to the "Wirtschaftswoche".
The club boss, who was recently criticized by million-dollar investor Lars Windhorst, came before a possible vote-out at the general meeting of the Berlin Bundesliga club on Sunday.
Gegenbauer had led the club since 2008.
He had recently come under massive criticism and was held responsible for the sporting misery of the club.
In addition to Gegenbauer, according to the "Tagesspiegel", CFO Ingo Schiller is also resigning from his post.
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 afternoon.
Hertha held the class on Monday evening with a 2-0 win in the second leg of the relegation against Hamburger SV.
