He should fix it again. After 2015-2019 and from January to November 2021, Pál Dárdai is head coach of Hertha BSC for the third time in 2023. Again, the 47-year-old has the task of protecting his Berliners from relegation. This Monday afternoon, Dárdai will be in charge of training for the first team for the first time in more than two years. But the coaching solution for the old lady was not quite as clear.
As the ‘kicker’ reports, new investor 777 Partners offered several external solutions. According to the specialist magazine, in addition to the name of Markus Gisdol, ex-Leipzig coach Ralph Hasenhüttl was also brought into play at the Olympic Stadium. Both coaches are said to have given positive signals for a possible cooperation. Even the financing of an external trainer would not have been a hurdle with the investor behind me.
However, the Hertha leadership around President Kai Bernstein preferred the more cost-effective solution with Dárdai. According to the report, one had to „vehement“ use for the internal variant. After all, the installation of the ex-professional was significantly less time-consuming and costly. There was no need to conduct large exploratory talks with Dárdai in advance. He said himself yesterday: “Everyone knows my relationship with Hertha BSC, so I didn’t have to think long when the call came.”
