The Mainz-born coach has signed a contract with the Old Lady until 2024. “During our search for a new Hertha head coach, I was looking for someone with passion, emotion and the ability to excite, as well as the right technical skills. Sandro has demonstrated all of those things during his time at both Mainz 05 and Dynamo Moscow,” explained Fredi Bobic. “With his personality and his positive and forward-thinking style of football, Sandro can create a connection between what happens out on the pitch and the club culture. That is what we need at Hertha BSC,” added the managing director for sport.

The club has been through a tough period and I’m really looking forward to turning that into something positive through hard work, enjoyment and lots of energy,” said the new head coach. Hertha will be Schwarz’s second spell at a German top-flight club Schwarz following his time with 1. FSV Mainz 05 between July 2017 and November 2019.
