Hertha BSC dismisses coach Dardai

The troubled Bundesliga club Hertha BSC reacted to the sporting stagnation and separated from coach Pal Dardai. The Berliners announced the end of Hungary two days after the sobering draw against relegation rivals FC Augsburg (1: 1).

Tayfun Korkut will be the new head coach. The 47-year-old will receive a contract until the end of the current season.

In addition to Dardai, the assistant coaches Zecke Neuendorf and Admir Hamzagic were also relieved of their duties. “We would like to express our thanks to Pal Dardai for his work. He took over the team in a difficult situation last season and kept it in the class under challenging circumstances,” said Sport Director Fredi Bobic.

Dardai had started his second term as Hertha head coach in January and saved the club from relegation. The club veteran had previously been on the sidelines between 2015 and 2019.

For Korkut it is the first stop since he was fired from VfB Stuttgart three years ago. “With Tayfun Korkut we would like to give the team new impulses and new input. Tayfun has already proven in the past that he can not only stabilize a team, but also develop it with his meticulous and passionate work and his idea of ​​football.” said Bobic.

Hertha BSC is only 14th in the table with 14 points after the 13th matchday. The club is far from its own ambitions.
