defeated Holsteinkiel, who had been relegated at home, and Dortmund finished the league with a strong performance, and the qualifying for the Champions League next season was steadily put.

From 11th to 4th, the strongest counterattack in history

While young coach Shahin's tenure, Dortmund's ranking fell to 11th in the Bundesliga, with less than two wins away from the relegation zone. Kovac took over a team that was about to join the relegation battle in January 2025.

After two consecutive losses at the beginning, Kovac found a feeling. Dortmund started a crazy journey of 8 rounds of 7 wins and 1 draw, becoming the first team in Bundesliga history to counterattack from the second half to win the Champions League qualification. Proving himself in the Bundesliga, Kovac led the team to the Champions League with even better results. They eliminated Portugal Sports and Lille one after another, and the home victory over Barcelona was a classic.

Bayern pays attention, the most familiar opponent is here

From training Schlottbeck as a "corner kick killer", to activating Gitense, from ushering in the burst of Kober's state, to using Gross and Gilasi, Kovac's series of operations at the tactical level have achieved excellent results.

was hailed as a "scientist" for a series of remarks that were full of traffic. Niko Kovac's coaching performance at Bayern was seriously underestimated. The coach who can lead Frankfurt to win the German Cup definitely has the ability to control the giants. Dortmund experienced a free fall movement during Shahin's tenure. Kovac not only led the team to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, but almost eliminated Barcelona in a state of bravery, but also allowed Dortmund to obtain the expected UEFA Champions League qualification. His overall performance deserves the reputation of "God-coach". Kovac's performance was average when coaching Wolfsburg. Dortmund extended an olive branch in the young coach's time and gained huge profits.

Since Tuchel and Favre left office one after another, the Yellow and Black Legion has never been able to find a coach who fits the club's "temperament", and the team's competitiveness is declining. If Kovac can regain his feelings when he coached Frankfurt back then, Dortmund has the hope of returning to the Bundesliga Championship Group Sequence. Kovac's performance during the firefighting reminds of the young marshal who led Frankfurt that year, and Dortmund welcomed an ideal leader.
