Scandal about Bobic – “If you ask again, you’ll get a scrubbed”
The nerves at Hertha BSC are on edge. Now a scandal about the fired managing director Fredi Bobic is becoming public. He apparently threatened a reporter with a beating over the weekend. The broadcaster posts the video of the incident.
Dhe former Hertha managing director Fredi Bobic reacted angrily to a reporter’s question in an interview right after the renewed derby defeat against Union Berlin (0: 2) last Saturday. “If you ask again, you’ll get a scrub,” said the 51-year-old as he left an rbb reporter.
The broadcaster published the video on Facebook, and the program “Zeigler’s wonderful world of football” picked it up. There you can see how the reporter says before a subsequent interview with Union coach Urs Fischer when asked what happened: “Better not ask. I’ll get a smack from Fredi Bobic.”
Bobic, who was relieved of his posts at Hertha shortly thereafter after the sporting failures, was apparently bothered by the repeated question about coach Sandro Schwarz’s job security. Bobic had previously expressed his confidence in the coach several times. When asked “Can you understand that there is a trainer discussion from the outside?” he answered succinctly: “No”. In the approximately one and a half minute interview with the sports show, RBB reporter Uri Zahavi (32) questioned the visibly eaten Bobic.
17th place with only 14 points
“BILD” reached Bobic on Monday morning. Bobic on the incident: “I’m very sorry, I reacted too emotionally. That was just a saying, which of course wasn’t meant that way. You shouldn’t overestimate that in football shortly after a game.” Zahavi has so far not wanted to comment on the “BILD” request.
After the last three defeats, Hertha is deep in the relegation battle, as in previous years. With 14 points, the Berliners are ranked 17th.
