On 13 June 2021, Hübner was announced alongside Filip Tapalović as the assistants of the newly appointed Tim Walter at Hamburger SV.[3] Hübner had previously worked with Walter at Karlsruher SC within their youth setup.[4] He would leave Die Rothosen upon Walter's sacking, on 12 February 2024, having failed to get them promoted back to the Bundesliga after several seasons in charge.[5]
