The German capital club have confirmed that Friedrich has opted not to extend his contract, which expires in the summer.
"I'm incredibly thankful to the entire Hertha family for the time and trust they placed in me. The last two and a half years have been an intense time, characterized by changes," said Friedrich.
"I returned to the club in 2019 to care for the club and do my bit to stabilise Hertha BSC and steer them back to calmer waters. There have been many highs and lows, but the good moments stand out for me. I'd also like to thank the great people who give their all for the club every single day here.
"It's clear that the process hasn’t finished yet, but I’m sure that Hertha BSC has been set up well for the future with its new sporting leadership. I’m looking forward to my future challenges and having time for other projects which I had to put on hold in recent years."
