Overview

  • Reese extended his contract in May despite interest from Bundesliga clubs to commit to Hertha’s long-term promotion drive.
  • Stefan Leitl appointed the 27-year-old as captain to spearhead a rebuild built around Benjamin Weber’s gradual squad-strengthening blueprint.
  • In an interview with kicker, Reese described a return to the Bundesliga in Berlin as a legacy that “lasts forever” beyond money or top-flight appearances.
  • He identified Fortuna Düsseldorf, Holstein Kiel, VfL Bochum and Hannover 96 as Hertha’s main rivals in what he called the most unpredictable second division in Europe.
  • After Hamburg SV and 1. FC Köln earned promotion last season, Reese said Hertha must embrace their status as a favorite and set the tone in Friday’s opener at Schalke 04.
