After a tenure of just over two months, Jürgen Klinsmann's stint as coach of Hertha Berlin has ended. With 12 points in 9 Bundesliga matches after taking over on 27 November lsat year, Klinsmann will leave the bench to return to his role as board member of the club. Here is what the ex-Bayern, German, and US National Team coach gave as explanation on his social media:
"As a head coach I need the trust of the people acting for this task, which is not yet done. Especially in the relegation fight, unity, cohesion and focus on the essentials are the most important elements. If they are not guaranteed, I can't take advantage of my potential as a trainer and can't live up to my responsibility either. That's why after a long thought, I came to put my position as head coach of Hertha and retreat myself back to my original long-term task as a supervisory board member."
