Berlin (dpa) - Coach Pal Dardai described the quick action of those responsible at Hertha BSC after the scandal over Jens Lehmann as "very good".
"The new leadership of Hertha is very consistent, and that is very positive," said the Hungarian on Wednesday at a press conference on the catch-up game in the Bundesliga this Thursday (6.30 p.m. / DAZN) in the Berlin Olympic Stadium against SC Freiburg.
Dardai didn't want to “talk about it that much.
We have to concentrate on playing football, ”he emphasized.
Now is not the time for such a distraction, said Dardai, who is fighting relegation with his team.
But he also did not feel that Lehmann was close to the team, said Dardai.
Ex-national goalkeeper Lehmann had previously caused a scandal with a racist message to Dennis Aogo, who, like Lehmann, is himself a Sky expert.
Aogo had posted a corresponding screenshot on Instagram Story and had a comment that came from Lehmann's cell phone, outlined in red: "Is Dennis actually your black one?"
Lehmann said he had apologized to the former national player on Wednesday.

Hertha investor Lars Windhorst ended the cooperation, Lehmann has not been on the supervisory board since Wednesday with immediate effect.
He had held the post since May last year.
“Of course it's a very, very unfortunate situation,” said Hertha keeper Alexander Schwolow on Wednesday the incident in the middle of Hertha’s stress weeks after a two-week quarantine due to several corona cases.
