It has been three years since he was sacked by the United States.

Now, the German returns to coaching and in his homeland.

Jurgen Klinsmann will lead Hertha Berlin as head coach until the end of the season after the Bundesliga side parted company with Ante Covic. The capital club announced the change in the wake of a 4-0 defeat to Augsburg that left them hovering precariously above the relegation places.

Klinsmann has Bundesliga experience with Bayern Munich on his resume but has not held a coaching position for three years. The former Germany boss, a top-class striker in his playing days, was sacked by the United States in November 2016 after failing to secure qualification for the 2018 World Cup.

Former Hertha player Covic lasted 15 games in charge, having stepped up from the under-23 team to succeed Pal Dardai at the end of last term.

“Some things in football simply happen overnight, but that can’t be said for my relationship to Hertha. My father was a proud Herthaner, my son played here for two years, it is the only club that I am actually a member of,” said the 55-year-old. “It just came to it, that I was asked whether I would help out the club in trying to stabilize their season. It is an honour to take on such an exciting challenge and I am incredibly motivated to do so.”
