Problems and anger in professional life often lead to sleep disorders.

So it was hardly surprising that Pal Dardai reported two days ago that he had been awake for half the night after the 1-1 draw against FC Augsburg.

Dardai has been a coach long enough, he knows what happens if the results don't come.

On Monday his bad feeling turned into certainty.

Hertha BSC released him from his duties as head coach of the Bundesliga team.

The industry communiqué was called out after him.

Manager Fredi Bobic thanked him for the work, a few hours later he introduced the successor.

By the end of the season, Tayfun Korkut should save the tumbling Hertha from relegation.

It is like always in the past few years.

When the days are short and the mood within the club is as gloomy as the winter weather in Berlin, Hertha swaps the coach.

Covic, Klinsmann, Nouri, Labbadia, Dardai and now Korkut.

Since investor Lars Windhorst joined in June 2019, the club has employed six different coaches - more than any other Bundesliga club during this time.

Hertha BSC is on the spot

The constant interplay has brought nothing. Hertha is standing on the spot, for the third winter in a row the goal can only be to be first class in the coming summer - and that despite enormous donations. Windhorst has invested 374 million euros so far. Hertha BSC is degenerating into a club example of how you can burn a lot of money without any income.

Dardai is as much or less to blame for this as his predecessors. Everyone for himself may have made mistakes. In Dardai's case, it was flirting with his own resignation and the lack of involvement of certain players that cost the club a lot of money and that managers would have preferred Bobic on the pitch rather than on the bench as ordered by Dardai. The playfully disappointing performances should have reinforced Bobic's suspicion that no further development can be achieved with this coach.

However, all of this must not hide the fact that the entire association lacks a strategy on how to achieve the goals once full-bodied by the investor. In the first step, this would require internal agreement between the investor and the club. A clear course is not in sight, and Bobic's commitment has not changed that either. The manager, who was successful in Frankfurt, has so far failed in Berlin just like his predecessor Michael Preetz in drafting a vision for the entire club.

The personality of Korkut fits into the picture after the poor transfers. Its commitment hardly arouses enthusiasm in Berlin. As well as? Korkut's working paper is limited to next June. The message behind it is clear, those responsible want to buy time again. Korkut is supposed to be the transition coach until a supposedly sonorous name takes over until the new season. But why should a really well-known coach do something to Hertha after three years of rolling course? In the club you dream of a supposedly rosy future and forget the present.

A look at the other side of the city might help.

Urs Fischer was already a trainer at Union when Windhorst joined Hertha BSC.

In Köpenick, those responsible know about the strengths and weaknesses of their coach, there is a clever strategy according to which the team is changed.

As a reward, Union is allowed to compete in the European Cup this season.

In the third year of the Windhorst investor, Hertha is further away than ever from that.
