Benjamin Weber, the club’s former youth academy boss, is Hertha’s new sporting director. Weber must hit the ground running in order to procure attacking reinforcements before the transfer window closes.
VfL Wolfsburg’s Maximilian Philipp is being linked with a move back to his hometown.
Weber returns to the club after parting company with the Bobic regime by mutual consent 11 months. Weber worked his way up through the club’s managerial system over the course of 18 years, eventually rising to the sporting director post at the youth academy. The 42-year-old was one of many club bosses removed by Bobic during a fairly thorough purge of the administrative ranks.
“I didn’t think I’d come back to my club so quickly,” Weber said at the roll out, “But now I’m eager to get going. I’m a Berliner, I’m a Herthaner through and through. I’ll be working on a time crunch from the start, but will accept the challenge.”
Hertha have retained the services of squad planner Dirk Dufner, with whom Weber already confirmed that he had shared a conversation. Weber also said he had spoken with head-coach Sandro Schwarz, whom Bernstein insisted “has our full support.”
“It’s full-steam ahead now,” Weber remarked at the press conference.
