Jens Lehmann seems to have put himself in a difficult position in Germany. The former goalkeeper of Schalke 04, Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal sent a WhatsApp message with the text ‘quota black’ to fellow analyst Dennis Aogo. The former player of Schalke 04 and Hamburger SV cannot believe that he received this message from Lehmann. The former keeper has already been in contact with Aogo and apologized for the unpleasant incident.
Aogo reveals Lehmann’s remarkable post on Instagram Stories. A screenshot of a conversation on WhatsApp shows what the former goalkeeper sent on Tuesday. “Is Dennis actually your quota black?” Lehmann wonders. Behind the text is an emoji of a smiling face. Aogo, associated with Sky, can’t believe what he read on his cell phone. “WOW, are you serious? This message was probably not meant for me”, the former player responds via Instagram, shortly after analyzing the Champions League match between Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain (2-0) in the studio. It is also not yet clear whether Lehmann accidentally sent the message to Aogo, although it seems very similar. He is being tackled very hard on social media in particular because of the curious app.

Lehmann is aware of all the fuss in Germany and the former closing post has since responded BILD. “I’ve already called Dennis and asked for forgiveness, should the message come across as disrespectful to him. It wasn’t meant to be that way, it had a positive impact. Dennis is a skilled analyst at Sky and he has a strong character. That’s why. the quota (for black people on television, ed.) has increased. I wanted to emphasize that, although it came out in the wrong way. The message comes from my phone, so I take full responsibility for it. a private message. ” By the way, Lehmann does not comment on who the WhatsAppje was actually intended for.
In einer privaten Nachricht von meinem Handy an Dennis Aogo is a Eindruck entstanden für den ich mich im Gespräch mit Dennis entitair habe. As an ehemaliger Nationalspieler there is sehr fachkundig und hat eine tolle Präsenz und bringt bei Sky Quote.

The much-discussed message has consequences for Lehmann, because Hertha BSC will immediately say goodbye to him as a member of the club’s supervisory board. “Such statements do not in any way correspond to the values that Hertha BSC stands for and actively supports. We distance ourselves from any form of racism,” the Hertha club management said in a statement on Twitter on Wednesday. Lehmann took over from Jürgen Klinsmann in May 2020 and in the past year he was mainly involved in football technical matters at Hertha.
