German Bundesliga side, Hertha Berlin is considering hiring Ghanaian midfielder, Kevin-Prince Boateng as sporting director according to reports.
The former Barcelona forward is set to hang his football boots at the end of the current season with his boyhood club but could be offered other major roles in the team when he finally does.
The 35-year-old Ghana midfielder acted as player-coach for Hertha Berlin last season and was considered the savior of the club as he helped the Bundesliga side to avoid relegation.
However, this season hasn’t gone so well for him as he has failed to make an impact on the field this season due to injuries.
He has only played 160 minutes, but the Ghanaian is vital to Hertha, playing the role of a motivator in training and the locker room.
Reports claim the Berliners would like to give Boateng a new role after his career ends in 2023 in order to honour his great achievements for the club and to keep him as a “face.”
Boateng is being considered for the position of sports director by managing director Fredi Bobic. Arne Friedrich served in this capacity until the beginning of this year when he announced his resignation. Since then, the position has been unfilled.
The former Barcelona, AC Milan, and Dortmund midfielder began his career at Hertha Berlin and had the wish to retire with the club so it looks like a dream come true.
