Hertha BSC has given Fredi Bobic notice of termination without notice. This is reported by the ‘Bild’. The old lady is pursuing two goals with this step: On the one hand, the sporting director, who has only been released so far, is to be prevented from pulling the extension clause contained in the current contract – in this case, the job would be extended by two years on paper. On the other hand, the Berliners want to avoid paying a six-figure compensation that Bobic is contractually entitled to in the event of a premature separation.
Quite piquant: According to the tabloid, Hertha wants to take advantage of Bobic’s derailment in an interview after the 0: 2 in the city derby against Union Berlin for the termination without notice (“If you ask again, you’ll get a smack.”). The judiciary must decide whether this is actually behavior that is harmful to the association and whether the termination is legal.
