A football city shrouded in failure - Klinsmann's shock resignation symbolises Hertha Berlin's eternal struggle to fulfil their potential

New owner Lars Windhorst is convinced he can turn the club profitable. He admits, though, that the resignation of Klinsmann was a commercial blow.

Former Spurs hero Jürgen Klinsmann never accepted the governance structure at Hertha Berlin. He had to work together with the sporting director, and Klinsmann wanted to do the decision-making himself.

The club believe a new, privately funded 55,000-seater stadium could be the turning point, but critics are concerned that this project will only produce new problems for the club.
