Overview

• Fredi Bobic sued Hertha BSC in early 2023 seeking unpaid wages, severance and interest amounting to over four million euros
• A late May mediation proposal would have granted Bobic 3.2 million euros plus coverage of all court and attorney fees
• Hertha let the court’s June 12 deadline pass without signing the settlement, ending hopes for an out-of-court resolution
• The dispute has been prolonged by Hertha’s filing of multiple recusal motions in the document-only proceeding
• Bobic, now sporting director at Poland’s Legia Warsaw, expressed surprise at the collapse of talks ahead of the verdict
