Former Germany and United States boss Jurgen Klinsmann has been appointed as Hertha Berlin manager until the end of the season after the Bundesliga side sacked Ante Covic.
The former Tottenham, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich striker, 55, was named on Hertha’s supervisory board in November. Covic, 44, was only appointed in July and leaves with Hertha in 15th. “The way we’ve been playing recently, and the results, have led to this decision,” he said.
Former Germany international Klinsmann’s first game in charge will be at home to Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.
