Hertha Berlin disappoints again with 1-0 loss in Bielefeld
BERLIN — Hertha Berlin coach Bruno Labbadia endured an unhappy return to Arminia Bielefeld as his team’s latest bid for back-to-back Bundesliga wins ended in another defeat. Reinhold Yabo’s strike midway through the second half was enough for lowly Bielefeld to win 1-0 and leave the relegation zone on Sunday. Hertha has struggled with inconsistency all season as is yet to follow any one of its four league wins with another – a poor return for a club expected to challenge for European qualification places following Lars Windhorst’s investment of 374 million euros ($450 million) since June 2019.

BERLIN — Hertha Berlin fired coach Bruno Labbadia and general manager Michael Preetz on Sunday after a poor run of form left the big-spending club near the Bundesliga relegation zone.
© Provided by The Canadian Press Labbadia spent nine months in charge and becomes the fourth permanent Hertha coach to leave the post in the last two years after Saturday's 4-1 defeat to Werder Bremen. Preetz departs after nearly 12 years as general manager.
Hertha is 14th in the Bundesliga, two points above the relegation playoff place, and has won only one of its last eight league games.
“With 17 points from 18 games we are in a very serious situation,” chairman Carsten Schmidt said. “Therefore we have decided after due consideration to provide new impetus with a change of coach. We will clarify the successor for the coach position in the coming days.”

BERLIN (AP) -- Hertha Berlin hired Bruno Labbadia as the club’s fourth coach of the season on Thursday. Labbadia was taking over immediately from Alexander Nouri, who was in charge for four games after Jürgen Klinsmann surprisingly left the club. Klinsmann was appointed amid much fanfare
Labbadia was initially appointed in April 2020 to steady the ship after a turbulent 10-game spell under former Germany and United States national team coach Jürgen Klinsmann, but failed to make progress toward the top half of the table in his second season.
The poor form comes despite Hertha being among Europe's biggest spenders on transfers in 2020. It is particularly troubling for Hertha given the club's stated aim of establishing itself as a Champions League regular and also the success of rival Union Berlin, eighth in the standings, on a much smaller budget.
With funding from investor Lars Windhorst, Hertha spent large sums last year on signing forwards Krzysztof Piatek from Milan and Matheus Cunha from Leipzig, defensive midfielder Lucas Tousart from Lyon and midfielder Matteo Guendouzi on loan from Arsenal. None has consistently hit strong form in Berlin.
