Now the Magath successor has almost been found!
According to information from “Kicker”, Sandro Schwarz (43) will be the new Hertha coach!
Accordingly, the ex-Mainz coach will terminate his contract in Russia after the cup final with his current club Dynamo Moscow on Sunday against city rival Spartak. It actually runs until 2024…

The ex-Mainzer should then be officially presented as the new coach at the capital city club next week at the latest.
However: BILD knows that the deal has not yet been waved through by the top management. Only then would the change, as advocated by Hertha manager Fredi Bobic, actually be dry.
BILD and SPORT BILD had already reported at the beginning of May that Hertha was interested in Schwarz.
According to “Kicker” information, the coach would have come even in the event of relegation. He should bring his assistant trainer Volkan Bulut and video analyst Daniel Fischer to Berlin.
Most recently, Schwarz had caused a stir because, unlike other German coaches such as Markus Gisdol (52, at that time still with Lok Moscow) and Daniel Farke (45, at that time still with FK Krasnodar), when the war broke out in Ukraine, he initially remained in Russia and ended the season with Dynamo Moscow.
Now he is to inherit Hertha rescuer Felix Magath (68), who is leaving the club as agreed after the successful relegation against HSV (0: 1 and 2: 0). His assistant coach Mark Fotheringham and athletic coach Werner Leuthard are also leaving the capital.
