He was a little indignant.

But the frustration, it seemed, had to go back then.

“Maybe I was a little too emotional”, said Sebastian Hoeneß now - with a gap of twelve years.

It was in 2009 when his father Dieter Hoeneß's time as a manager at Hertha BSC was over and he had to leave.

His son, who was playing in the second team in Berlin at the time, was quite upset about the separation.

On Tuesday evening there will be a reunion for Sebastian Hoeneß with the Berliners, where he will be guest with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, which he has trained.

Despite the precarious situation in which TSG is currently in the Bundesliga, Sebastian Hoeneß is looking forward to the game at Hertha BSC.

“It will be something special for me to sit in the Olympic Stadium.

I played for Hertha for years and lived in Berlin for a long time.

I still know a lot of people there, ”said the 38-year-old before the game.

Hoeneß was part of Hertha's second team from 1999 to 2006 and from 2007 to 2010.

His father Dieter was a manager at the capital city club from 1997 to 2009.

"Of course it is the case that as a son you live and cheer", said the TSG coach, who as a youth coach also had his first stop at a Berlin Hertha - at the one in Zehlendorf.

Sebastian Hoeneß then worked in the youth division of RB Leipzig and in Munich, where he was third division champion with FC Bayern II last year.

"When he was here, he was a young guy who played in the Hertha youth teams - and finally in the U23 - and from here he built his next stations in the coaching career," said manager Michael Preetz, the immediate one Successor to Dieter Hoeneß.
