Ralf Rangnick: Hertha BSC is negotiating a return to Berlin!
Hertha BSC is in serious negotiations with Ralf Rangnick about a possible return to Germany, which would possibly also involve taking over the position of sports director in Berlin. The current coach of the Austrian national team spoke to Berlin President Fabian Drescher, who met with Rangnick in Vienna to discuss the commitment. These talks could represent an important turning point for the second division club, which finished in eleventh place last season and needs new impetus in the coming season. RBLive reports that Rangnick is not just seen as a functional reinforcement, but as a key figure in leading the club back to the Bundesliga.
At 66, Rangnick has had an impressive career in German football. He successfully led Hannover 96, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig into the Bundesliga and is considered the mastermind of the successful project at RB Leipzig. Despite his commitment as national coach, his connection with club coach Stefan Leitl, who recently showed an upward trend in form with the team and introduced new tactical elements, became easier.
Rangnick's career and ambitions
It is known that Rangnick rejected an offer from FC Bayern Munich last year, which underlines his interest in working for Hertha BSC. The team is urgently looking for experience and strategic sense to revitalize the club. However, it is still unclear whether Rangnick will continue in an advisory role or as managing director. Another big topic in the discussions is Hertha BSC's ambition to get promoted back to the top league.
Rangnick is currently leading the Austrian national team, with whom he was eliminated in the round of 16 of the 2024 European Championship. Under his leadership, Austria has already won two games in World Cup qualifying. Despite past disagreements with the top of the association, Rangnick apparently sees a good opportunity to bring his expertise to a club like Hertha BSC. Drescher's interest could therefore prove crucial to Rangnick's future plans. SportImage emphasizes that stronger negotiations between Rangnick and the club were facilitated not least by Drescher's strategic considerations.
