BERLIN: Hertha Berlin on Tuesday sacked their goalkeeping coach Zsolt Petry over comments he made about migrants and homosexuals days ago in a Hungarian newspaper.
Hertha said while they were satisfied with the work of former Hungary international Petry, his comments went against the club's positions on tolerance and diversity."The comments made overall do not reflect the values of Hertha," said club CEO Carsten Schmidt."We thank Zsolt Petry for the work done and wish him all the best in the future."
Petry, who had been at the club since 2015, had criticised European migration policies in an interview with the Magyar Nemzet newspaper, saying Europe was a"Christian continent."He also said he could not understand why Hungary and RB Leipzig keeper Peter Gulacsi was speaking up for the rights of homosexuals. Petry apologised for his comments and accepted the club's decision.
