Jens Lehmann inherits Jürgen Klinsmann
Jens Lehmann surprisingly succeeds Jürgen Klinsmann on the Hertha BSC supervisory board. The former national goalkeeper last worked as an assistant coach at FC Augsburg in 2019.
The next celebrity is hiring at Hertha BSC. After Jürgen Klinsmann’s spectacular finale, the capital club found a successor: former goalkeeper Jens Lehmann. Jürgen Klopp’s advisor is also on board.
DFormer soccer goalkeeper Jens Lehmann will fill the vacant seat of Jürgen Klinsmann on the supervisory board of Bundesliga club Hertha BSC and will deal with sports affairs. First, the “image” reported on it. Marc Kosicke is also new to the Supervisory Board. He has been advising coaches for years. His most prominent clients include Jürgen Klopp, Julian Nagelsmann, Ralf Rangnick and Florian Kohfeldt.
Klinsmann joined Lars Windhorst at Hertha Tennor’s investor in early November last year as a sports consultant and soon switched to the training bench. He launched this post, which wanted to make Hertha the “Big City Club” and had talked about “Europe’s most exciting football project”, but then in early February.
Klinsmann made it number one
After a public mud battle, Klinsmann, who had announced his resignation via Facebook at the time, also lost his post on the Supervisory Board. Jens Lehmann should now act there.
“I gladly accepted Lars Windhorst’s offer to work on the further development of Hertha BSC,” Lehmann is quoted in a Tennor Group press release. And he added, in almost the same words as Klinsmann recently: “I currently see this as one of the most interesting projects in football.”
The former goalkeeper had risen to number one in the goal of the German national team under his predecessor. Klinsmann supervised the selection of the German Football Association (DFB) from 2004 to 2006.
Lehmann ended his career in 2011. He worked for Schalke 04, AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund before moving to Arsenal in 2003. There he played until 2008 before going to VfB Stuttgart for two more years.
Assistant coach in London and Augsburg
In October 2013, he finally acquired the soccer teacher license. In the 2017/18 Premier League season, he was on the coaching staff of then-Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger. In late 2019, he became an assistant to Manuel Baum at FC Augsburg. On April 9, Lehmann, who worked as an expert for RTL for several years, was released with Baum. The team was in serious danger of relegation at the time.
Now Lehmann, together with Marc Kosicke, should help direct the club to the capital. The first conversations with the duo took place a few weeks ago. First just on the phone, then in person.
Investor Lars Windhorst owns 49.9 percent of Hertha KGaA, in which the club’s professional, amateur and senior youth team split in 2002. Tennor Holding may serve four of the nine supervisory board seats, including Jens Lehmann on the future.
