The 2021-22 campaign delivered a dramatic and chaotic last-gasp survival for Hertha Berlin as Die Alte Dame finished a perilous 16th in the Bundesliga. The season was defined by intense instability, with three different managers, Pál Dárdai, Tayfun Korkut, and ultimately Felix Magath, leading the desperate charge for safety. Leading the attack was the veteran Stevan Jovetić, whose 6 league goals proved crucial in the turbulent year. Ultimate salvation was achieved in a tense relegation play-off against Hamburg, which Hertha won away from home with a dramatic 2-0 second-leg victory, securing their top-flight status and cementing a defining, unforgettable chapter in the club's modern history of fighting the drop.
