“I’ll be coach of Borussia Dortmund next year,” Rose emphasized after the final whistle on TV channel Sky: “I’m looking forward to it.”
When asked twice before whether Rose would still coach Dortmund next season, Kehl replied that he assumed he would. That was enough to spark a lightning debate about Rose, who still has a contract in Dortmund until the summer of 2024.
“What should I tell you about that? You’re trying to conjure something out of something,” Rose answered the Sky reporter after the 3: 1 (1: 0) against relegated Frth. With a view to the club management around Hans-Joachim Watzke, the Dortmund coach assured: “We work together very trustingly.”
Rose had at least a little reason to be happy on Saturday. Julian Brandt shot the club, which was very disappointing in the cup competitions this season, to the runners-up championship. With a brace against Frth, the international eliminated the last theoretical doubts about second place behind permanent champion FC Bayern Munich.
For Dortmund, the home farewell of Frth coach Stefan Leitl was like a summer kick without the necessary sharpness and speed, but in the final phase on Saturday they turned up the heat. Brandt converted BVB’s first chance in the 26th minute and restored the lead after the break (72′). With his first Bundesliga goal, Jessic Ngankam (70th) made the fans of the early days celebrate. However, Felix Passlack (77th) raised the ball with a deflected shot in a sold-out stadium with 16,626 fans.
Borussia around the this time goalless Erling Haaland only showed a tiny reaction after the indisputable 3:4 against VfL Bochum and won through their higher individual class. In their last home game, the people from the early days were equal opponents for a long time.
The busy early days gave BVB little space. Leitl also made sure of that with a clever change: Striker Jamie Leweling sometimes even gave a left full-back and thus slowed down the offensive efforts of Dortmund on the right side.
The video referee spoiled the early jubilation about the supposed lead in the 23rd minute by captain Branimir Hrgota because of offside. The technically clearly superior Dortmund countered with a dust collector: keeper Andreas Linde only let a shot from Raphal Guerreiro parry, Brandt followed up successfully.
The former managing director Rachid Azzouzi spoke of a “sad day” because he had to say goodbye to promotion coach Leitl before the game. The 44-year-old, who is likely to move to Hannover 96, received a lot of encouragement from the stands, and his players applauded him.
In the second half, Dortmund had more space against more courageous hosts. But Haaland kept getting stuck on an earlier opponent and was later replaced without the really big accents.
With a remarkable lob, Ngankam gave the Franconian fans a well-deserved goal celebration. “I tried that many times in training but it didn’t work,” admitted the young striker. In return, Brandt again completed a Dortmund counterattack. Passlack also tunneled Frth’s goalkeeper Linde. A goal by Jude Bellingham (85′) did not count for offside.
Kehl announces: Changes from Haaland and Adeyemi are imminent
The departure of striker Erling Haaland at Borussia Dortmund (BVB (Borussia Dortmund)) is imminent according to license player boss Sebastian Kehl. “I believe that we will have clarity next week,” said the future BVB sports director on Sunday at Sport1 in the “double pass”. Haaland has an exit clause in Dortmund and is reportedly about to move to Manchester City. Because of the death and previous serious illness of Haaland’s advisor Mino Raiola, the topic of the Haaland change had dragged on longer than expected.
In return, national striker Karim Adeyemi is to switch from Red Bull Salzburg to Dortmund. “I’m assuming that we’ll make progress with Karim this week,” said Kehl. Adeyemi’s advisor Thomas Solomon had recently spoken of the fact that the change was nearing completion. The runners-up had already signed Nico Schlotterbeck from SC Freiburg and Niklas Sle from FC Bayern for defence.
