Stefan Leitl Takes Over Hertha BSC in Bid to Halt Relegation Slide

The new coach aims to rebuild confidence and cohesion as the Berlin club faces critical matches to avoid further decline.

Stefan Leitl has been appointed as Hertha BSC's new coach following the dismissal of Cristian Fiél after four consecutive losses.
Hertha BSC is just five points above the relegation zone in the 2. Bundesliga, despite starting the season with promotion ambitions.
Leitl emphasizes a focus on player confidence, young talent development, and addressing key tactical weaknesses, including defensive errors and poor home performance.
The team faces an important match against 1. FC Nürnberg on Friday, with Leitl prioritizing a high-energy approach to secure points.
Known for his detailed preparation and motivational skills, Leitl seeks to instill consistency and resilience in a squad struggling with self-belief.
