Hertha Managing Director Fredi Bobic conjured up one of the most successful German coaches from the hat in Felix Magath, which should now bring the crisis Berliner again.

If it goes to "Sky" expert Lothar Matthew would be the 68-year-old, who had preserved the 1st FC Cologne at the end of the past season before the descent, quite a suitable man for the job at Hertha.

I believe Hertha BSC now needs such a coach, who is not talking about it, but it manages to make a unity from individualists," says Matthew.

Ultimately, Hertha in Magath has opted for a coach, who is also known for a clear line and who also "to rigorous means" intervenes. Because, as Matthäus formulates: "The time of the Schöntererei is over in Berlin now. That was far too long anyway."

Currently, the Hertha does not appear as a team, the 60-year-old. Therefore, Magath would now have to find "his first 13 or 14 regular players". In addition, finally leaders would have to crystallize.

Matthäus is already looking forward to the coming weeks, in which Magath is active in the Bundesliga: "The appearances of Felix Magath in front of the camera are often a pleasure and anything but boring and arbitrary. And in most cases his teams play too really good football. I'm curious if he creates it and press him from the heart the thumbs up. Magath and the club deserves it. It is not lost yet. "
