Dortmund coach Kovac extends contract to 2029-club
Borussia Dortmund's coach Niko Kovac has extended his contract until 2029, the club announced on Tuesday. Kovac, who took charge in early 2025 following the team's poor 11th-place finish, guided Dortmund to a Champions League qualification on the final day of last season. Subsequently, they finished as runners-up to Bayern Munich.
Kovac remarked, "Together, we’ve set a clear course for development and laid important foundations for the future." He added, "We want to build on that." The team is currently second in the Bundesliga with Freiburg on goal difference after just five matches. Dortmund will face Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League on Wednesday.
