Hertha fell just shy of the top half last season, a familiar story to the two previous campaigns. In terms of stability it was anything but, the club changed the manager three times during the course of the season, eventually sticking with Bruno Labbadia, at least for now anyway. Hertha have healthy financial backing under investor Lars Windhorst and have spent a lot of money over the past year, especially in the January transfer market last season. They haven’t been as active in the summer but have signed sought after goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow from Freiburg and promising right-back Deyovaisio Zeefulk from Groningen. Skjelbred and Ibisevic have both left on free transfers despite gaining a new lease of life towards the end of the last campaign. Labbadia will look to continue building a strong work ethic into his side with defensive stability being their strong point, the slight worry would be the expectation to do well and the pressure that will bring to the players and coaching staff.

Target


European places- If Hertha can start well and get the best out of their players then they have every chance of breaking into the top six. They do not need another disruptive season like the last one, stability is key.
