Photo: Kovac became Dortmund s savior, strictly enforce discipline and rectify players physical fitness in the team

Dotter finally successfully filled the hole under Kovac's leadership and obtained the qualification for the Champions League next season. The "Photo" wrote an article about the changes Kovac brought to the team.

When Kovac was the head coach, Dortmund ranked 11th in the Bundesliga. In the last eight rounds, he only drew with Bayern and won all the remaining seven games, leading the team to score 22 points and finally entered the Champions League. Fans almost unanimously attributed the miracle reversal to the savior coach. The last coach of Dortmund who could trigger a response of the same scale is probably Klopp.

With the Bundesliga defeated Kiel 3-0 in the final round, Kovac was officially named "the new king of Iduna Signal Park". Kovac's response to fans' support immediately won him a nomination for a "Character Award". He bowed humbly in the second row of the South Stand, while pointing at the team: "Look, they did it, not me."

Kovac is not a narcissistic show coach, but a discipline-obsessed workaholic, with a bit of ruffianity in his bones. What you need in the Ruhr area is this coach, especially after Shahin was dismissed, the team faced a breakup.

Door Sports Director Ricken praised Kovac: "Please forgive other coaches, but Nico's achievements are one of the greatest coaching performances in Dortmund's history." At the beginning of the period, Kovac was just a transition plan after Shahin was dismissed. The team signed a 1.5-year contract with him and set terms for termination this summer. Nowadays, Dortmund not only does not have to pay the termination fee, but also gives Kovac a bonus of 750,000 euros.

After taking office, Kovac quickly rectified the poor physical condition of Brandt and others, allowing the team to restore stability, especially discipline, resilience and spiritual attributes. Dortmund gradually returned to normal levels. After changing the lineup three defenders and supporting Andong as the core of the defense, Dortmund won an incredible winning streak.

Dotter was a laissez-free management style during the Shaheen period. Kovac now supervises players from all aspects from behavior to state. For example, they will surprise check whether Duranville, Gittens and others will be lazy and absent in recovery training like before, and violators will be severely punished.

For Votsk, this means that Ricken and sports director Kyle have reversed the situation, and Votsk can temporarily sit in the chairperson's position with peace of mind.
