Pal Dardai has helped guide Hertha Berlin into contention for Champions League qualification and John Anthony Brooks is loving every minute.
Hertha Berlin's top-three credentials will be severely tested by Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, but John Anthony Brooks is confident the hosts can continue to perform above expectations.
The capital club finished 15th in the Bundesliga last season, but Pal Dardai has transformed their fortunes this term, with Hertha sitting third - 10 points behind second-placed Dortmund - and in the hunt for Champions League qualification following a five-match unbeaten run in the top flight.
United States international defender Brooks extended his Olympiastadion stay last week, agreeing fresh terms that tie him to the club until 2019, and he is optimistic about Hertha's future.
