Berlin (dpa) - The new Hertha boss Carsten Schmidt has made the team of the Berlin Bundesliga club responsible for the second part of the season.
“Points must be scored in January,” said the chairman of the management, who has only been in office since December 1, of the “Bild” newspaper (Tuesday edition).
The 57-year-old also added: “We are extremely dissatisfied with the number of points and the current standings.
And also with the way we played in the last two matches.
That urgently needs to change now. "
Despite great ambitions, the capital city club is only 14th in the table with 13 points from 13 games.
The last two appearances against FSV Mainz (0: 0) and at SC Freiburg (1: 4) were particularly shockingly weak.
After the short Christmas break, coach Bruno Labbadia's team has six Bundesliga games on the program in January.
It's against Schalke 04, Bielefeld, Cologne, Hoffenheim, Bremen and Frankfurt.
Schmidt has been a top three at Hertha since the beginning of the month with the managing directors Michael Preetz (Sports) and Ingo Schiller (Finance).
Schmidt, who previously worked in various positions for the Sky media group, has overall responsibility.
At the same time, he is directly responsible for the areas of marketing, sales, strategy, corporate communication and internationalization.
