BERLIN (AP) — Hertha Berlin hired Bruno Labbadia as the club’s fourth coach of the season on Thursday.
Labbadia was taking over immediately from Alexander Nouri, who was in charge for four games after Jürgen Klinsmann surprisingly left the club.
Klinsmann was appointed amid much fanfare on Nov. 27, but the former Germany and United States coach left Hertha in chaos in February when he quit after nine Bundesliga games.
Former youth coach Ante Covic was the first-time head coach from the start of the season.
The 54-year-old Labbadia, who previously coached Wolfsburg, Stuttgart, Hamburger SV, Bayer Leverkusen, Greuther Fürth and Darmstadt, had been out of work since leaving Wolfsburg at the end of last season.
