Kevin-Prince Boateng quits TV punditry job after signing for Hertha Berlin

Earlier in June, Boateng was unveiled by German broadcaster ARD as one of its marquee analysts for the ongoing Euro 2020.

The 34-year-old joined other legends like Bastian Schweinsteiger, Thomas Broich and Olympic champion Almuth Schult to discuss the German national team and other matches at the tournament.

However, last week, the ex-Ghana international officially completed a move to his boyhood club Hertha Berlin.

He returned to the Bundesliga side as a free agent, having parted ways with Serie B team AC Monza this summer.

In a Twitter post, Boateng announced that he was leaving his job as a television pundit following his move to Hertha Berlin.

“Dear sports show, Thank you for the great experience!” he wrote in his goodbye message to the broadcast network.

“Thank you, to the wonderful people I got to meet with you and for the fun I had with you! I really felt at home with you and I'd love to come back.”

Boateng started his career at Hertha Berlin in 2004 and rose through the ranks to become a first-team player in 2006.

The midfielder left his boyhood club in 2007 for Tottenham Hotspur and has since played for different teams across Europe.

His journeyman career has seen him line up for Borussia Dortmund, Portsmouth, AC Milan, Las Palmas, Sassuolo, Barcelona and Besiktas.
