The former goalkeeper will take the seat on the Berlin supervisory board, which Klinsmann finally released with his notorious resignation on February 11. Lehmann confirmed this in a Tennor Group press release: “I currently see this as one of the most interesting projects in football.”
Klinsmann had spoken almost word for word after his appointment to Hertha’s supervisory body and named Hertha one of the most exciting projects in Europe.
In addition to Lehmann, investor Lars Windhorst presented another entry for Hertha’s Supervisory Board with Marc Kosicke: “I am very pleased that Jens Lehmann and Marc Kosicke are engaging with us at Hertha. Both have a high level of experience and professionalism. They will help achieve the high goals of Tennor and Hertha and lead the club together towards a successful future. “
Hertha BSC: Lehmann and Kosicke cannot make decisions alone
Managing coach Kosicke, who among other things Jürgen Klopp and Julian Nagelsmann advise, according to a report by “Sport Bild” and “Bild”, that they “take care of the strategic direction” of the club, while Lehmann is responsible for “sports questions”. After his sports career, the former national goalkeeper gained experience as an assistant coach for Arsène Wenger at Arsenal FC and FC Augsburg alongside Manuel Baum.

Through its subsidiary Tennor, Windhorst initially acquired 37.5 percent of Hertha BSC GmbH & Co.KGaA in June 2019 and paid € 125 million for it. For another 99 million euros, this share increased on November 8 to the maximum share of 49.9 percent in German professional football (for official announcement).
Consequently, the words of Lehmann and Kosicke will carry weight. However, the two newcomers alone cannot make any decisions at Hertha’s management level. “With my experience in the football business, I like to make a contribution to achieving the main goals that Hertha and Lars Windhorst have set for themselves,” said Kosicke.
Thanks to Windhorst, Berliners who finished 13th in the table were able to buy for a world record sum of € 78 million in January, also an all-time record for a German club in winter. The two most expensive additions to the “Big City Club” were Krzysztof Piatek (€ 27 million) and Lucas Tousart (€ 25 million; only in Berlin since the summer).
