Dardai apparently out of action at Hertha BSC

Published on

Pal Dardai is apparently on the verge of extinction at Hertha BSC. As the kicker reports, the search for a successor has already begun at the capital city club, who is to take over the office of Hungary for the new season.

According to the report, the Berliners’ representatives will no longer be convinced by Dardai. Manager Michael Preetz’s offensive announcement before the season, that the next step in the development of the game would be after such a strong start to the season, when Hertha still convinced with home victories against Borussia Mönchengladbach (4:2) and FC Bayern (2:0), was no longer recognizable. The Berliners have been without victory for five games, Hertha are only 13th in the back round table with eleven points after twelve games.

In addition, Dardai’s unfortunate remarks, which have become more frequent in the last few weeks, have also been made. When, for example, he spoke up the bloodless performance of his team against Düsseldorf (1:2) and the increasing helplessness after the performance collapse in the second half. “I’ve already said 100 times: If I block the development here, you have to tell me,” said the 43-year-old after the 2-0 defeat in Hoffenheim.

The premature extension of the contract for another year, which was completed last December and was valid until 2019, for another year could already be invalidated. There are clear signals from the industry – from competing clubs and consultants – that Hertha is looking for a new head coach for the 2019/20 season – as are Schalke, Wolfsburg and Stuttgart.

In addition to the extremely precarious sporting situation, the relationship between Preetz and Dardai is said to have been scratched. For the filling of the co-trainer position, which Dardais’ emigrating assistant Rainer Widmayer will leave behind, there is said to have been different approaches between the two.

In February 2016 Dardai had taken over the coaching position at Hertha from Jos Luhukay and helped the club, which was in danger of relegation at the time, directly to maintain its class. This was followed by qualifying for the Europa League in seasons 15/16 and 16/17. Last season, Berlin finished in the seventh place in the table.
