After parting with coach Tayfun Korkut, Hertha Berlin’s announcement of his successor was as swift as it was, to many, surprising. Felix Magath is the man now tasked with trying to haul the capital club clear of the bottom three. The veteran tactician, a renowned disciplinarian who among other achievements steered VfL Wolfsburg to their first Bun- desliga title in 2009, is back in the Bundesliga. Philipp Lahm knows the Magath methodology well, having played under him at both Stuttgart and Bayern.
