Berlin (AP) - In addition to coach Bruno Labbadia, manager Michael Preetz at Bundesliga soccer team Hertha BSC is about to end after the 1: 4 against Werder Bremen.
As the "Bild" newspaper reported late on Saturday evening, the end of the term of office should be decided for both.
There is still no exact time for the leave of absence.
But: "In any case, the duo will no longer sit on the bench next Saturday in Frankfurt," says the report.
The former Hertha coach and current youth coach Pal Dardai is to be the successor to Labbadia.
For the time being, there was no reaction from club officials to the personal details.
Immediately after the renewed defeat on Saturday evening, Preetz had rejected a separation from Labbadia.
«We sat in the dressing room and didn't discuss any decisions.
So I can't confirm that, ”he said in the ZDF“ sports studio ”.
It is possible that he was no longer involved in the decisions of the club bosses.

Labbadia didn't want to deal with an end.
"I got to know and appreciate those responsible in Berlin so much that you come to me before you go public," Labbadia commented on the speculations.
The 54-year-old only took over the post as head coach in April 2020.
Ex-striker Preetz has been with the club for almost 25 years and has been a manager since 2009.
After 18 games, Hertha is 14th with 17 points and lags far behind its own claims.
The season started with the ambition to play a European Cup place.
"The arguments are missing because we are simply not delivering enough results, and I am responsible," said Labbadia.
