Borussia Dortmund sack Peter Bosz; Successor Appointed
German club Borussia Dortmund have announced the sacking of their head coach Peter Bosz following the team’s poor run – the latest been the 2-1 home defeat against Werder Bremen on Saturday.
Peter Bosz has been swiftly been replaced by former Cologne coach Peter Stoger who was sacked weeks ago. The club’s hierarchy confirmed that he will remain in charge until the end of the season.
The 54 year old, Bosz, lost his job after a poor run of results in all competitions. Excluding the club’s victory over a third-tier Magdeburg in a league cup match, Dortmund haven’t won a single match since Sept. 30.
Bosz replaced Thomas Tuchel before the season began, they started off well accumulating 19 points from their first seven matches only to completely collapsed and managed just three draws from their last eight Bundesliga games.
Sequel to an embarrassing 2-1 defeat to Bremen, who hasn’t won a game away from home all sean, the former Ajax boss was axed after just over five months in charge at the Westfalenstadion.
Speaking to the press, Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said;
“Last night, we decided in a meeting with Peter Bosz that he will immediately be released. It was very emotional, but classy. And Bosz took it with class.
“I would like to thank him in the name of everyone here at the club. We still believe he is a very good coach, and an outstanding personality. The cooperation was outstanding. And we would like to thank him for that.”
