Millions of sports fans know his voice, but now it will be silent for the time being.

As Jörg Dahlmann announced on his Instagram account himself on Wednesday, he will leave the pay TV broadcaster Sky.

The 62-year-old commentator wrote in his article about a farewell tour with the three games of Cologne, Hertha and Mainz.

Dahlmann provided the posting with the hashtag "Schade", which suggests that he was not the driving force behind the breakup.

There has so far been no reaction from the pay TV broadcaster.

The separation could be related to a rash saying from Dahlmann in December.

When Union Berlin left the DFB Cup against second division Paderborn (2: 3), the commentator made a flippant comment about Sophia Thomalla.

Their partner, Union goalkeeper Loris Karius, had an unfortunate debut against Paderborn.

Shit storm because of Thomalla saying

A few minutes before the final whistle, Dahlmann spoke the following sentences into his microphone: “Now in Berlin he is just sitting on the bench (based on Karius' previous first half of the season / editor's note).

Has the advantage that he can cuddle up with his Sophia Thomalla at home.

But for such a cozy night with Sophia I would also sit on the bench. "

A slogan that caused a strong shitstorm and prompted his employer Sky to drop Dahlmann for the cup game between Mainz and Bochum at short notice in order to take the commentator out of the line of fire.

Shortly afterwards Dahlmann apologized.

“Some accuse me of sexism.

No, that was meant sexist in no time.

But should it be so, I apologize to the audience and also to Sophia Thomalla (if she feels attacked), ”he wrote on Instagram at the time.

Ex-colleague comments on Dahlmann

Thomalla herself said the “Bild”: “Everyone wants a little love for Christmas ... also Jörg.

But folks - this is about football, not about kid shit.

I didn't even notice.

That was such a blatant game.

Union was so close.

That annoyed me a lot more! "

Now Dahlmann and Sky are finally going their separate ways.

Rolf Fuhrmann addressed a few words to his former colleague on Twitter: “Dear Jörg Dahlmann.

You're leaving Sky.

We didn't always agree and I think that you made mistakes last. "

The 71-year-old indicated that Dahlmann's unfortunate sentences about Thomalla could have played a role in the breakup: “We older people grew up in a time when we weren't aware of a lot.

There was gypsy schnitzel, negro kisses, etc. It took until we slowly became aware of what all this meant and taught us not to stop thinking about things and keep learning and working on ourselves. "
