Sandro Schwarz joins from Dynamo Moscow and will take over the reins at the Bundesliga club ahead of the 2022/23 season. The Mainz-born coach has signed a contract with the Old Lady until 2024.

“During our search for a new Hertha head coach, I was looking for someone with passion, emotion and the ability to excite, as well as the right technical skills. Sandro has demonstrated all of those things during his time at both Mainz 05 and Dynamo Moscow,” explained Fredi Bobic. “With his personality and his positive and forward-thinking style of football, Sandro can create a connection between what happens out on the pitch and the club culture. That is what we need at Hertha BSC,” added the managing director for sport.
