Felix, thank you for joining us today. Let’s get straight into it. Bobic mentioned that the idea of hiring you was something he’d been considering for quite some time. What was your initial reaction when you first heard about this?
Felix Magath: Thank you for having me. It’s always a pleasure to discuss football. When I first heard about Bobic’s interest, I was intrigued. Coaching Hertha BSC is a challenge, but it’s also a club with immense potential. I’ve always believed in taking on projects that require a strategic approach, and Hertha certainly fits that bill. Bobic’s instincts align with my own ideology—sometiems, you have to trust your gut rather than follow the conventional path.
Moderator: That’s an captivating point.Bobic emphasized trusting his instincts and drawing from his decade-long experience. Do you think this approach is crucial in modern football,where decisions are frequently enough driven by data and analytics?
Felix Magath: Absolutely. Data and analytics have their place, but football is ultimately about people. It’s about understanding the players, the club’s culture, and the fans’ expectations. A coach or sporting director’s experience provides insights that no algorithm can. Bobic’s decision to trust his instincts shows his depth of understanding. It’s a balance between the analytical and the human side of the game.

Felix Magath: change is never easy, especially at a club with as much history and passion as Hertha. I believe Bobic and I shared a vision for the club’s future, but implementing that vision required time and patience. Football is a results-driven business, and sometimes, the pressure to deliver immediate results can overshadow long-term goals. that’s a challenge every coach and sporting director faces.
Moderator: That’s a fair assessment. Now, let’s address the elephant in the room. Bobic was eventually relieved of his duties at Hertha, and there’s been speculation about whether his decision to bring you on board played a role in that. What’s your take on this?
Felix Magath: [Pauses] It’s challenging to say. These decisions are often influenced by a multitude of factors, manny of which aren’t public.

Football is a game of opinions, and everyone has one.
