Borussia Dortmund
According to the media, Niko Kovac will be the new BVB coach
Borussia Dortmund has apparently found his new trainer: According to media reports, Niko Kovac should take over the office. On Saturday he is not yet on the bench.
Niko Kovac, according to the media reports, becomes new trainer from Borussia Dortmund and is said to lead the proud district club out of the crisis. The 53-year-old succeeds Nuri Sahin as head coach. Both sides would have reached a fundamental agreement, as the “Bild” newspaper, Sportschau.de and Sky reported during the BVB champions League game against Schachtar Donetsk.
U19 coach Mike Tullberg looked after the team 2-2 against Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Tullberg is also said to sit on the bench against the 1st FC Heidenheim on Saturday, as managing director Lars Ricken and sports director Sebastian Kehl had announced before the Champions League game against Shachtar Donzek. Then the time of Kovac begins.
He takes over a difficult mission in Dortmund. The former coach of Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayern Munich and VfL Wolfsburg is now training a team that lags behind their own expectations and those of the bosses this season. In the Bundesliga, BVB is only in eleventh place in the table.
Niko Kovac is supposed to lead BVB back to the track of success
The Dortmunders see themselves as challengers of FC Bayern Munich and by Master Bayer Leverkusen in the title fight. At least the Champions League qualification is supposed to be here-if only for financial reasons. However, the gap to fourth place, which would entitle the premier class to participate, is already six points. In the DFB Cup, Dortmund ended in the second round at VfL Wolfsburg. Kovac was released in Wolfsburg in March 2024.
The BVB separated from Sahin a week ago after the 1-2 in the Champions League at FC Bologna. After four defeats at the start of the year, those responsible saw no other way than without the 36-year-old.
