Berlin (dpa) - With Bundesliga soccer team Hertha BSC things will go up again after the latest personnel decisions from the perspective of Lothar Matthäus.
The record national player praised the return of Pal Dardai as coach and the commitment of the long-time Hertha professional Arne Friedrich as sports director in a column published on Monday by the TV station Sky.
«Dardai and Friedrich.
Sounds like a good plan for this great club, ”wrote Matthäus.
Like Pep Guardiola in Barcelona, Dardai knows the Berlin club, fans and media like no other.
The Hungarian is a top solution.
"Above all, I think it's great that he can work until summer 2022," emphasized Matthäus.
He hopes that the 44-year-old will be able to «play not only successful, but also attractive football that fits in with a capital city club.
Compared to his first term in office he now has the player material for it. "
The former defender Friedrich (41) also left a big mark on Hertha.
The former national defender is highly regarded, has a very pleasant manner and is certainly not lacking in ambition.

Matthäus called the separation from the previous coach Bruno Labbadia and the long-time sports director Michael Preetz correct and understandable.
One should not put the sole blame on Preetz, but he has currently not managed to put together a balanced and homogeneous team with the financial resources available now.
The relationship between the team and those responsible for sport was not intact.
Even if some of Labbadia's decisions were absolutely understandable, the players no longer listened to him, explained Matthäus.
