Tabakovic came a year ago on a free transfer from Vorarlberger Austria from Lustenau and scored 21 goals in 41 games, his last just last Thursday in the 1-0 win against Banja Luka in the Conference League qualifier. On Thursday (8.30 p.m., live on ORF1) in the second leg, the 1.94 meter tall attacker is already missing.
“Hertha BSC has an incredible radiance. It quickly became clear to me that I definitely wanted to take the step to this club. Now my goal is to settle in as quickly as possible, to get to know my new colleagues and to help the team,” said Tabakovic after his transfer to the relegated team from the German Bundesliga.
