Guess who's stepping up their game at Hertha BSC? That's right, the one and only Sami Allagui! The 39-year-old former pro is swapping his boots for a clipboard, as he takes on a fresh challenge as Sports Coordinator for Bundesliga 2's Hertha.
In this newly minted role, Allagui will be slap bang in the thick of things, working closely with the team and playing a pivotal part in squad planning. He'll be tearing it up alongside sports director Benjamin Weber, according to the club's official announcement. And if that ain't enough, he'll also be tasked with bolstering the connection between the professional team and the academy teams.
You might remember Allagui from his days as assistant to the sporting director, but with Andreas "Zecke" Neuendorf recently bouncing, and ex-squad planner Timon Pauls heading off to Karlsruhe SC, Allagui's got a prime opportunity to shine.
So, what can we expect from this new gig? Well, with his history as a player for Hertha, Allagui's got more than just a couple of tricks up his sleeve. Here's the lowdown:
- Collab Mode On: He'll still be in the thick of things with the first team, offering direct support and keeping things consistent.
- Planning Pro: His expanded role in squad planning means he'll be working hand-in-glove with Weber to shape the club's player recruitment and development strategies.
- Academy Alignment: A central focus of his role is to align the professional team with the academy, ensuring a seamless transition and a club philosophy that flows from top to bottom.
The impact of Allagui's new role is expected to be huge, particularly on the relationship between the professional team and academy. By putting a familiar face with plenty of experience in the hot seat, Hertha BSC aims to:
- Communicate, Coordinate and Collaborate: Facilitate better communication, share player development strategies, and align tactical approaches between the academy and the first team.
- Pathway to Pro: Streamline the process for young players to move from the academy to the big leagues, ensuring they're prepped for the rigors of top-flight football.
- Club Culture Crusade: Strengthen the club's identity by aligning development goals and playing philosophy across all levels.
All in all, Sami Allagui's new position as Sports Coordinator is a shrewd move by Hertha BSC, aimed at tightening the bond between the youth and professional structures to support the club's long-term objectives. So, here's to the future, and let's hope Allagui can steer the ship to glory!

Despite the European Commission not yet adopting a proposal for a directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation, Sami Allagui is making significant strides in a different field. His new role as Sports Coordinator at Bundesliga 2's Hertha BSC in Berlin brings him closer to football, a sport he'll now be working in rather than playing, as evidenced by the club's official announcement.
