Kevin-Prince Boateng is absent from training due to illness

Hertha BSC began the training week without Kevin-Prince Boateng on Tuesday. The midfielder was missing due to illness, according to the club.

It remains to be seen if Boateng will be available for Saturday’s relegation clash with TSG Hoffenheim. The 36-year-old was last seen on the field on matchday 21 when he came in as a substitute in a 4-1 loss to BVB.

Midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng has revealed what he wants to do after he retires from football at the end of the 2022/23 season.

The 35-year-old has stated his desire to continue engaging in football when his active professional career ends.

“I know football, I think football, my life is football,” said Boateng.

“I don’t know 100% what I’m going to do yet, of course I want to stay at Hertha,”

Boateng was initially uncertain. The former midfielder from AC Milan and FC Barcelona then immediately expressed a hidden ambition.

“In the last few weeks I’ve really wanted to become a coach,” Boateng explained.

“I’ve seen a lot of coaches and I think I can do it too or I can even do it better,” said the Hertha player.

Boateng caused laughter and applause in the studio. “Maybe I’ll become a coach in the Bundesliga one day,” he added.
