(Reuters) - Hertha Berlin have appointed Felix Magath as head coach - their third this season - after Tayfun Korkut's sacking in a bid to salvage their Bundesliga status, the club said on Sunday.

Korkut was sacked following a fifth straight Bundesliga loss, with Hertha sinking into the relegation zone in 17th place after their 2-0 defeat to Borussia Moenchengladbach on Saturday.
