0: 1 in Bielefeld, 0: 0 in Cologne, 0: 3 against Hoffenheim, now 1: 4 against Bremen – Hertha BSC is deeply in crisis. And he needs a new coach. According to constant reports, the club is parting ways with Bruno Labbadia and coach Michael Preetz.
Hertha BSC part ways with coach Bruno Labbadia and coach Michael Preetz. According to information from dpa, the decision will be announced by the Berlin Bundesliga club on Sunday. Previously, various Berlin media had reported on the end of the duo.
After its successful rescue mission in the preseason, Labbadia failed to live up to the high expectations at Hertha this season. After only a good nine months, it was over for him. After 25 years at the club and almost eleven as a manager, Preetz must take responsibility for the ongoing sporting misery. The favorite for Labbadia’s provisional successor is Pal Dardai, who coached Hertha from 2015 to 2019 and was recently hired as a youth coach.
On Saturday night, 20 minutes was enough, and the Berliners once again showed the whole dilemma of this season. Maximilian Mittelstädt was over-motivated in the penalty area against Bremen’s Romano Schmid. Davie Selke had taken advantage of the penalty to make it 1-0 in favor of Werder (tenth). On the other hand, Matheus Cunha miserably missed his chance from the point (21st).
As with the 0: 3 against Hoffenheim, Hertha missed a penalty. Like Tuesday, there was a defeat at the end: 1: 4 (1: 2). Werder plunged the Berliners into crisis. Even before kick-off, around 250 fans had called for Michael Preetz’s resignation at a demonstration in front of the Olympic Stadium.
Suppression of Lukebakio as a final act
0: 1 in Bielefeld, 0: 0 in Cologne, 0: 3 against Hoffenheim, now 1: 4; Even against competitors from the bottom third of the table, it is no longer enough for the experienced coach’s eleven who fell to 14th place on the table. With the removal of Dodi Lukebakio from the team, Labbadia had documented that there is also a lack of fundamental principles: “Stand still, don’t be ready to lead the way, we can’t afford that in this situation.”

No one followed Ömer Toprak in the 29th minute. Bremer headed for 2-0. That Jhon Córdoba set the tone to catch up with the 1: 2 (45 + 2) was irrelevant. It was canceled again early: Leonardo Bittencourt increased to 3: 1 (57th) and thus maintained Bremen’s maximum efficiency rate: three shots on goal, three hits. Josh Sargent made the final decision with a 4-1 win (77th).
“We had more chances against Werder Bremen than against Leverkusen or Gladbach. If you put it all together, we concede goals too easy and miss too many opportunities. It’s a huge disappointment, ”Labbadia said immediately after the match.
“We have no arguments. We are the last to talk about anything, “said the manager, who described the Bremen game as a” brutal disappointment. ” “It’s a shitty feeling, we’ll see everything else. The point here is that the club is successful and that we are on the right track. That’s the end result, then we’ll see what the next few days are like. “
At 17 points, the long-standing club, dubbed “Big City Club” by investor Lars Windhorst, ranks just above relegation range even after the start of the second half of the season. Hertha now wants to dominate the relegation battle with new strengths at the sports management level. The Bremen team could now leave it in their next matches against Schalke and Bielefeld.
