Pál Dárdai wieder Hertha-Trainer
As expected, Pál Dárdai will be the new coach of Hertha BSC. The 44-year-old Hungarian, who had already looked after the professional team of the capital club from February 2015 to June 2019, will succeed the dismissed Bruno Labbadia and will receive a contract until summer 2022.
After the dismissal of Bruno Labbadia, Hertha BSC brought Pál Dárdai back as head coach. The club announced that the agreement would last until 2022, but that doesn’t seem to be the whole truth.
Hertha coach Pál Dárdai apparently has a points clause in his contract. The paper, which is valid until the end of June 2022, stipulates that the new head coach of the Berlin Bundesliga club must “achieve an average of almost exactly 1.5 points per game” in the remaining 16 games of this season in order to “get into the 2021 / 22 to be allowed to go “, writes the” kicker “. The association did not want to comment on the content of the contract when asked.
The 44-year-old Hungarian took over from Bruno Labbadia, who was on leave, 19 months after the end of his first term as head coach of the professionals. After 18 matchdays, Hertha is in 14th place with 17 points, two points away from the relegation place.
The comeback on the sidelines begins for Dárdai with difficult tasks. This Saturday (3.30 p.m. / Sky) the Berliners will compete at Eintracht Frankfurt, on the following Friday they will receive FC Bayern.
Dárdai only spoke of half a year
Dárdai, who had already led the team from the relegation zone to the European starting positions from 2015 to 2019, only spoke about the period until the end of the season when he was introduced. “I don’t want to talk long about contracts. This half year I want to perform and have fun too, ”said the Hungarian. Hertha had officially announced that the agreement with Dárdai would apply “until 2022”.
Incidentally, with the points average from Dárdai’s first term in office, it would not be enough for another year on the bench. In 151 Bundesliga games he achieved an average of 1.34 points, which is still well above that of Labbadia. He had looked after Hertha in 27 games and came up with a yield of only 1.11 points.
