Now it’s getting dirty!
Even after the 4-1 win against Gladbach – the first win in three months – Hertha BSC simply won’t calm down. But on the contrary!
Now there is a big Hertha noise about Bobic’s expulsion!
What exactly is it about?
Hertha manager Fredi Bobic was surprisingly fired without notice after being kicked out on January 28th
On January 28, Hertha separated from manager in the Olympic Stadium Fredi Bobic (51). Just two hours after the derby defeat against Union (0:2), he was informed of his immediate release from President Kay Bernstein (42).
A day later, Bernstein (42) explained: “As it is in the business, there will be an end at some point. We’re a long way from falling apart over arguments.”
But two weeks later everything looks very different. Now it bangs!

BILD learned: Hertha has meanwhile given Bobic a termination without notice!
The case is now with the lawyers. A mud fight in court is imminent!
What a hammer! What’s behind it?
Actually everything seemed clear! Hertha boss Bernstein noted that Bobic had to go for sporting reasons, but above all for economic reasons, and that the separation was “not a knee-jerk reaction” but “well thought out”.

Bernstein continues: “That was already a few days before … concretized. Then we made the strategic change of course.”
Hertha BSC: The Bobic-Aus was planned for a long time!
Background: With the termination, Hertha prevented Bobic (annual fee: 3 million euros/year) from being able to opt for a contract extension clause until 2026.
For the early separation is said to be Bobic according to the contract, a regulated severance payment must be guaranteed. According to BILD information, this is a six-digit sum, which is well below the salary that Bobic would have received if he had fulfilled his fixed-term contract by June 30, 2024 (then it would have been around 4 million euros).
Does Hertha want to prevent this payment now with the termination without notice?
For termination without notice, there must be an urgent reason, serious misconduct.
What does Hertha accuse Fredi Bobic of?
According to reports, Hertha Bobic is accused of behavior that is harmful to the club.
It should be about a saying (“If you ask again, you’ll get a scrub”), which the annoyed Bobic threw to the RBB reporter Uri Zahavi (32) after the end of the conversation after the derby defeat against Union in the Olympic Stadium , after the repeated after the consequences of the defeat for Hertha coach Sandro Schwarz (44) asked.
Bobic immediately apologized: “I’m very sorry, I reacted too emotionally. That was just a saying, which of course wasn’t meant that way. Please don’t overestimate that in football shortly after a game.”
Ob Hertha BSC will now be successful with his advance is considered extremely questionable.
Boss Bernstein and his supporters in the committees obviously see things differently.
Hertha President Kay Bernstein (42) says when asked by BILD: “Please understand that we do not comment on contractual matters in public, but we will of course try to find an amicable solution.”
Friendly solution?

It’s clear: It’s also about money. According to the contract, Bobic is entitled to a fixed, low seven-figure severance payment upon dismissal. It is possible that Bernstein wants to reduce this sum with the help of the termination without notice and an imminent labor court process.
Hertha is clammy and is currently struggling to submit viable financial documents for the licensing of the 2023/24 season. A few millions saved at Bobic could help there.
How does Bobic react to the termination?
The ex-Hertha manager to BILD: “I ask for your understanding that I will not say anything publicly about such things.”
Now the mud fight begins!
