Hertha BSC officially appoints former Dortmund assistant to lead the team in avoiding relegation.

Hertha BSC, one of Germany's most successful football clubs, has appointed a new coach to help them avoid relegation from the Bundesliga. The club announced on Wednesday that it had signed former Dortmund assistant manager Matthias Sammer as its new head coach.

Sammer, who previously worked under Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund, will be tasked with leading Hertha BSC through a difficult season, which could see them relegated from the top flight if they do not improve their form.

The appointment comes after a poor start to the season for Hertha BSC, who have only won two out of their opening nine games. However, the club has shown resilience in recent weeks, beating Mainz and Hannover to secure back-to-back wins.

Sammer is well-known for his tactical acumen and ability to work with young players, and he is expected to bring these qualities to Hertha BSC. He will also be looking to build a strong squad around his players, ensuring that Hertha BSC can compete with the best teams in the league.

While the appointment of a new coach may provide some hope for Hertha BSC, the club will need to make significant improvements if they are to avoid relegation this season. However, with Sammer's experience and leadership, there is reason to believe that Hertha BSC can turn things around and secure a place in the Bundesliga next term.
