Hertha coach Pal Dardai apparently has a points clause in his contract.

The paper, which is valid until the end of June 2022, stipulates that the new head coach of the Berlin Bundesliga club must “achieve an average of almost exactly 1.5 points per game” in the remaining 16 games of this season in order to “go into the 2021/22 season to be allowed ”, writes the“ kicker ”.

The association did not want to comment on the content of the contract when asked.

The 44-year-old Hungarian took over from Bruno Labbadia, who was on leave, 19 months after the end of his first tenure as head coach of the professionals.

After 18 matchdays, Hertha is in 14th place with 17 points, two points away from the relegation place.

The comeback on the sidelines begins for Dardai with difficult tasks.

On this Saturday (3.30 p.m. / Sky) the Berliners will compete at Eintracht Frankfurt, on the following Friday they will receive FC Bayern.

Dardai only spoke of half a year

Dardai, who had already led the team from the relegation zone to the European starting positions from 2015 to 2019, only spoke about the period until the end of the season when he was introduced.

“I don't want to talk long about contracts.

This half year I want to perform and have fun too, ”said the Hungarian.

Hertha had officially announced that the agreement with Dardai would apply “until 2022”.

Incidentally, with the points average from Dardai's first term in office, it would not be enough for another year on the bench.

In 151 Bundesliga games, he achieved an average of 1.34 points, which is still well above Labbadia.

He had looked after Hertha in 27 games and came up with a yield of only 1.11 points.
