500 euros penalty per minute for latecomers

Hertha trainer Felix Magath immediately increased the catalog of penalties shortly after starting his rescue mission. That reports the image.

The main focus is on punctuality. According to the report, Magath is increasing the penalty for being late by 900 percent: As a player, you no longer have to pay 50 euros per minute late, but a whopping 500 euros.

For comparison: The catalog of penalties published by Borussia Dortmund in 2009 also provided for 50 euros for being late. The penalty price increased with every quarter of an hour and, according to treasurer Florian Kringe, was the most common offence.

At Hertha BSC you can probably prepare for the mission of staying up on some strict guidelines, which his former companion Seppo Eichkorn also suspected in an interview SPOX and GOAL: “Felix will give the players clear ties within which they have to act.”

But that shouldn’t detract from the mood in the team: “You often have to smile with Felix. He’s not just the tough dog everyone always thinks he is. He has a very big joke. It was always fun with him, we had wonderful moments. It wasn’t like the players were just tormented,” says Eichkorn.

But Hertha still have to wait for the first game with Felix Magath: According to a club announcement, the “rescuer” was announced on Thursday morning tested positive for the coronavirus and must at least defend against TSG Hoffenheim on Saturday (3:30 p.m./sky) was represented by his assistant Mark Fotheringham.
