Hertha BSC signs Sandro Schwarz as new coach

With Sandro Schwarz, the Berliners are bringing an old friend back to the Bundesliga. Black is currently still training in Russia. He should finally ensure continuity in the Hertha coaching position.

Sandro Schwarz is the new coach of Hertha BSC. The Berliners announced this on Thursday. The 43-year-old comes from the Russian first division club Dynamo Moscow, where he announced his departure last Sunday. In Berlin, Black gets a contract until 2024.

Black since 2020 in Moscow

As Felix Magath’s successor, Schwarz is to push ahead with the new start at Hertha, which only secured relegation in the relegation against second division Hamburger SV. Before joining Dynamo, he coached FSV Mainz 05 from 2017 to 2019.

Schwarz had worked in Moscow since 2020 and led the club to third place in the Russian league last season. Last Sunday, Schwarz lost the cup final to Spartak Moscow 2-1 before making his exit public.

In contrast to his German coaching colleagues Markus Gisdol (Lokomotiv Moscow) and Daniel Farke (FK Krasnodar), Schwarz did not end his commitment when the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine began. He justified this by saying that he felt responsible for the club.
