Hertha Berlin coach Pal Dardai has reacted to the arrival of Kevin-Prince Boateng who signed a one-year deal last week.
Boateng met his new manager on Wednesday when he reported to training for the first time.
The training was opened to fans, with Boateng taking plenty of time for autographs and selfie requests.
After the session, Dardai spoke to reporters about Boateng. He said: "We will get along well with each other. We have always got along well."
According to Dardia, he suggested that Boateng be brought back four years ago.
The 34-year-old has returned to his boyhood club after 13 years and representing many clubs including Barcelona, Dortmund and Tottenham Hotspur.
