Soccer Betting Lines
02/13/2012 - Berlin, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Hertha Berlin players Rene Tretschok and Ante Covic have been named caretaker managers of the club following the departure of manager Michael Skibbe on Sunday.
Skibbe took charge over the winter break for Markus Babbel, but was sacked after losing all five of his games in charge in all competitions.
Tretschok and Covic combined to feature in 157 matches for Hertha during their playing days, and both have been promoted from roles within Hertha's youth system.
The club is looking for a permanent replacement for Skibbe, but the duo will take charge of Saturday's home match against Borussia Dortmund until a new man can be found.
Hertha is in 15th place in the league and only two points above the drop zone.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.
Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
