Borussia Dortmund recently sacked manager Marco Rose after one season. The German coach led BVB to a respectable second place in the Bundesliga in his first season, but humiliating defeats His short tenure in both the Champions League and Europa League suffered.

“His great commitment and reassuring discussions and I wish him the best for his private and sporting future. Rose’s assistant coach Alexander Zickler as well as Rene Maric and athletic trainer Patrick Eibenberger will no longer be working for BVB in the future. He also wants to thank them for their work and dedication.” he added.
CEO Watzke also added: “Today is not an easy day for all of us because the mutual respect between us was and continues to be great. After an unsatisfactory season for many reasons, we had to admit that we were not reaching our maximum potential in many areas.”
What did Marco Rose say about this season??
Now the former BVB boss once explained to Sky Sports:“We were knocked out of the cup, we were eliminated from the Champions League, the spectators were only late – after all, it hasn’t been a satisfying season for us.”
“The fact is that if we had made fewer mistakes, we could have conceded fewer goals and scored more points. The 45-year-old saw their 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich and their rivals to sign the German title.
“When you’ve had eight defeats in the Bundesliga, that’s a lot. We weren’t good enough, to be frank. The difference was that Bayern was more consistent. Consistency was what separated the two teams throughout the season.” he concluded.
