The black and yellow are still looking for a long-term successor for the dismissed Nuri Şahin. BVB sports director Kehl now gives an update.
Borussia Dortmund apparently found what he was looking for, but Ralf Rangnick, the last traded, was not the successor to the dismissed Nuri Şahin. He had “absolutely plans” to continue working as a coach of the Austrian national team, Rangnick confirmed on Wednesday evening in the TV studio of Canal+ Austria. Dortmund’s sports director Sebastian Kehl emphasized at DAZN that the BVB was “on the home stretch” during discussions with a new coach.
“We also said that we wanted to try to find a new coach,” Kehl said in front of the Champions League duel with Shachtar Donetsk: “Just let yourself be surprised.” The former professional did not name the name, the former Bayern coach Niko Kovač is considered a candidate.
Rangnick was also traded, but he again emphasized that he would continue to work in Austria to continue working in Austria in April last year. “I am fully identifying myself with the task and I’m looking forward to seeing the players again in the March course,” he said: “I’m here in the studio, that’s enough. Not here, and that would be a shame. “
BVB had separated from Sahin last week after the bitter defeat in the Champions League at Bologna FC. The previous junior coach Mike Tullberg currently looks after the team. The Dane will also take responsibility on Saturday (from 3:30 p.m. in the live ticker at T-Online) at 1. FC Heidenheim.
