Hertha Berlin's new coach is planning for the second division after the club's appeal against relegation from the Bundesliga was rejected.
Jos Luhukay was presented as Otto Rehhagel's successor on Tuesday, and the 48-year-old Dutchman urged Hertha to look forward.
The former Augsburg coach said ''we've already lost two weeks. We'll plan the squad in the next days with manager Michael Preetz.''
Hertha was relegated on aggregate this month when it drew 2-2 at Fortuna Duesseldorf, whose fans invaded the pitch two minutes before the end of the match. It was interrupted for 20 minutes and Hertha argued its players were too intimidated to continue.
