Berlin (dpa) - Supervisory Board Jens Lehmann from the Bundesliga soccer club Hertha BSC considers a commitment from Fredi Bobic to be difficult, especially for financial reasons.
“The problem with Berlin is that it costs a lot of money.
Then you have to see: Is it worth it? ", Said the ex-professional on Sunday in the TV talk" Sky90 ".
Bobic had announced his departure from Eintracht Frankfurt at the beginning of the week and is now considered the preferred candidate in Berlin to succeed Michael Preetz.
The former sports director had to vacate his post early because of the lack of success this season.
Ex-professional Lehmann avoided a clear commitment to Bobic, who actually still has a contract in Frankfurt until 2023.
Due to the contractual situation, Lehmann assumes that Eintracht "wants to see a lot of money" if Bobic wanted to come to Berlin.
Lehmann did not confirm talks between the capital city club and Bobic.
He knew, however, that the topic was being discussed in public: "That cannot be dismissed out of hand."
The 51-year-old Lehmann praised Bobic, however.
“Fredi did a really great job in Frankfurt.
The situation in Berlin is different, ”said the former goalkeeper.
He alluded to the corona situation and the current economic problems in the industry.
"Just because of the fact how Fredi did it, he is of course qualified," said Lehmann, who believes that the relegation-threatened Berliners will remain in the league: "Hertha will stay in the first division.
I am 100 percent convinced of it. "
