Bobic also took the time to endorse the appointment of the man who once coached him on the German national team, 1990 World Cup Winner Rudi Völler.
As for the issue of a potential transfer fee, Bernstein had confirmed in a previous interview that Bobic would be given clearance to head to the German FA if he so desired. Hertha would seek some compensation for the executive that they themselves had to pay Eintracht Frankfurt for, but Bernstein emphasized that “travelers shouldn’t be held up”.
It nevertheless appears that, with no contact at all reported, the DFB isn’t really considering the former national team player and seasoned Bundesliga executive. Asked about reports that Rudi Völler might return to the German FA and assume Bierhoff’s position, Bobic gave a ringing endorsement to the man who once coached him at the 2004 Euros.
“Outstanding, full support,” Bobic noted, “No competition here. I love Rudi and he would have always been on my short list. He has to decide that for himself, of course. In any case, he earns my full trust.”
