The German football club Hertha BSC has appointed a new head coach, following the departure of their previous manager, Joachim Riedel, who had been tasked with leading the team towards safety in the Bundesliga.
Riedel was appointed as the new head coach of Hertha BSC on Tuesday, and he will be taking over from the sacked coach, Peter Bosz. The former Ajax coach has previously worked under several high-profile managers including Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool and Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea.
Bosz, who is currently managing Eintracht Frankfurt, made the decision to leave his position at the end of last season due to a lack of success. He stated that he felt it was time for him to take on a new challenge, and he hoped that his experience would help Hertha BSC achieve greater heights.
The appointment of Riedel as the new head coach comes at a crucial time for the club, as they sit just one point above the relegation zone in the Bundesliga table. The club has struggled this season, having lost four consecutive matches, and there were concerns about their chances of survival.
However, the appointment of Riedel could provide a much-needed boost for the team, as he has a proven track record of success both domestically and internationally. He led Ajax to the Europa League final in 2017, and he also helped them win the Eredivisie title in 2016-17.
With Riedel now in charge, Hertha BSC will hope to turn their fortunes around and secure their place in the top flight of German football. They will have to fight hard to avoid being relegated, but with Riedel at the helm, there is reason to believe that they can achieve this goal.
