Following an intensive season analysis on Thursday, including Rose, Watzke, Zorc, Kehl, and Sammer, the club has decided to move forward, and wishes Marco Rose the best of luck in his next opportunity 👏 pic.twitter.com/xpz6eBjS8T
Rose’s version of Borussia Dortmund finished with 22 victories, 3 draws, and 9 defeats. Furthermore, Dortmund scored 85 goals but conceded 53, due to poor defensive performance this season:
Rose’s team also suffered multiple crucial injuries during the season, yet they were ousted from the Champions League in the group round. Things aren’t going to get any simpler with Erling Haaland possibly departing the club this summer. Dortmund, on the other hand, has signed Bayern Munich’s Niklas Süle and SC Freiburg’s Nico Schlotterbeck.
The pair of German internationals should help fortify the Black and Yellows’ backline for whoever takes over as manager.
