Croatian coach Niko Kovac, former Bayern coach Munich, denied the reports that dealt with his negotiations with Borussia Dortmund to take over the position of the team coach, and in his statements to the Canal+network where he works as an analyst, Kovac said: "I do not say, I did not talk to anyone and did not speak Anyone with me.

The Borussia Dortmund administration is looking for a new coach after its separation from coach Nuri Shaheen after the 2/1 loss against Bologna in the Champions League, in addition to a series of negative results that the team witnessed this season.

Press reports from the "Sky" and the newspaper "Bild" confirmed that Kovac was among the candidates for the position, and that he may sign a contract with the team until next summer, and in response to a question from the broadcaster "Canal+" about whether he was drawing his attention to work with Dortmund "I am the type who loves challenges and seeks them, but I do not comment on this at the present time," Kovac said.

It is noteworthy that Kovac has not assumed any training position since he left the Wolfsburg team in March 2024, where he said about his absence: "I have not done anything for nine months, but at some point, the time will come when I go back to work."

While Borussia Dortmund continues to search for the appropriate solution, coach Mike Tolberg, the U -19 team coach, will lead the team in his next match against Werder Bremen in the German league next Saturday.

It is worth noting that Niko Kovac has achieved many achievements in his training career, where he won with Bayern Munich the league and German Cup in the 2018/2019 season, in addition to winning the German Cup with Eintracht Frankfurt in the 2017/2018 season.
