Rumors have been circulating for several weeks that Hertha BSC wants to poach BVB chief scout Markus Pilawa. However, there are conflicting reports about the alleged interest.
Markus Pilawa is the main person responsible for scouting at Borussia Dortmund. The official has been working for BVB for ten years. Pilawa previously worked for VfL Bochum. Now the Dortmunder is apparently looking for a new job.
Hertha BSC is currently said to be interested in a commitment. It is said that Pilawa should take over the post of sports director at the Berliners and thus succeed Arne Friedrich. But according to the “Ruhr news“The flirt between Hertha and the BVB scout is not that hot at the moment.
Accordingly, there was no contact from the capital club in the direction of Pilawa or in the direction of Westphalia. Hertha managing director Fredi Bobic also reacted with surprise at the recent Berlin press conference.
“I know that he is a BVB squad planner. I’ve never met him personally. That was an interesting story that I read today,” said the 50-year-old about the speculation. So, in the end, does Pilawa stay with BVB?
Will BVB restructure the club management in the summer?
According to the “Ruhr Nachrichten”, the role of chief scout at Borussia Dortmund could change in the summer.
Finally, Sebastian Kehl takes over the post of sports director from Michael Zorc at the end of the season. With the departure of the BVB veteran, the black and yellow could restructure their sporting club management. This will be discussed in the coming weeks and months.
Accordingly, Pilawa’s farewell is not a done deal. Consequently, Hertha BSC must continue to look for a new sports director.
