BERLIN (AP) — Hertha Berlin is hoping yet another coaching change will solve the team’s ever-recurring problems. After four straight defeats in Germany’s second division, Hertha has fired Cristian Fiél and replaced him with former Hannover coach Stefan Leitl. It's the 11th coaching change since Pál Dárdai led Hertha to Bundesliga mediocrity in 2019. Ambition amid a huge spending splurge funded by investor Lars Windhorst prompted the club to try the likes of Jürgen Klinsmann and Felix Magath. But Hertha struggled with relegation battles and financial problems. Hertha was demoted in 2023 and languishes in 14th place in the 18-team second division.
