German Football Association Details Revealed in Report
Lo and Behold, More Twists in Hertha BSC's CEO Hunt
It appears Hertha BSC, the renowned second-division club, has been quietly wooing some high-profile names in their quest for a new CEO, but alas, the appointments just seem out of reach. The latest on the list? None other than the legendary Oliver Kahn.
According to "Sport Bild", Kahn, who was Bayern Munich's chairman until 2023, engaged in discussions with the club's bigwigs in the capital on Wednesday. While the ex-national player showed interest in the job, the timing was unlucky.
Interestingly, another football heavyweight, Felix Magath, is also being rumored. The 71-year-old miraculously saved the Berliners from Bundesliga relegation back in 2022, and has previously held similar positions at Wolfsburg and Schalke. Lately, Magath was denied the well-deserved title of HSV president.
The Hunt for a New Leadership Figure
Over the weekend, murmurs about Hertha's interest in Ralf Rangnick stirred the football world. However, the current coach of the Austrian national team and former RB architect also politely declined Hertha's offer.
Post Tom Herrich's somewhat voluntary departure, Hertha continues its search for a worthy successor. The initial frontrunners, Jonas Boldt and Jochen Sauer, have been out of the race for quite some time. Lately, Samir Arabi has been spotted as the most promising candidate.
However, the names of any current candidates vying for the CEO position at Hertha BSC, as of June 2025, are not widely disclosed or reported in the present media landscape, focusing primarily on coaching appointments and player transfers at other German clubs such as RB Leipzig, Wolfsburg, and FC Copenhagen. Thus, the identities or names of the current candidates for the CEO role at Hertha BSC remain a tantalizing mystery for now.
In the ongoing hunt for their new CEO, Hertha BSC is also rumored to have shown interest in renowned football figures, such as Oliver Kahn and Felix Magath. Despite negotiations with Kahn, the timing of his potential appointment seems challenging.
