BVB’s head coach revealed some information regarding his plans for the 2025/26 campaign.
In the aftermath of Borussia Dortmund’s 8-1 friendly win over Sportfreunde Siegen, Niko Kovač gave insights into his squad planning.
Sky journalist Patrick Berger, often reliable when discussing BVB, noted the unlikelihood of signing a holding midfielder this summer.
“We are looking and observing everything, but if you are interested – we are not looking [for a player] in this position,” Kovač said.
Regarding the captain and vice-captain trio of Emre Can, Julian Brandt and Nico Schlotterbeck, the 53-year-old feels unmoved.
“It stays as it is. There are no reasons to change anything. I am satisfied with the choice my predecessors made,” he explained.
Can, now 31-years-old, has been captain of Die Schwarzgelben since late July 2023 where he took over the armband from Marco Reus.
