He then ended his playing career in 2018 and is now an assistant coach under Sebastian Hoene\u00df at VfB Stuttgart.<\/p>\n<p>Bild has now spotted him in Hertha training gear with head coach Stefan Leitl\u2019s team. \u201cThis is part of my observation stint, which I\u2019m completing as part of the DFB Pro Licence course.

The differences are exciting, and we discussed them after the sessions. That creates added value for both sides,\u201d Fathi explained. For him, Hertha is still a special club in his life.
