Bosz to remain despite Dortmund derby debacle
Print Edition
BORUSSIA Dortmund’s CEO says Peter Bosz remains head coach — for now — although the squad was booed at the club’s annual general meeting yesterday after surrendering a four-goal lead against Schalke.
Bosz has been given a reprieve despite Saturday’s 4-4 draw at home to Schalke in the Ruhr derby when Dortmund’s second-half collapse saw it surrender a four-goal half-time lead to its bitter German league rival.
Dutchman Bosz and the team, which has won just one of its last 10 games, were jeered by Dortmund’s members as they entered yesterday’s meeting.
“I feel just as shitty as you all,” Borussia’s CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke told the 1200 club members from the stage amidst the boos. “I have never experienced anything like that, but the problem is there is no magic solution.”
Dortmund last won a league game in September and is fifth in the table, but Watzke laid down the minimum standard Bosz must achieve — a top-four finish to qualifying for next season’s UEFA Champions League.
“I have a clear expectation of you, Peter, that you put everything to the test this week, turn every stone,” added Watzke. “We have to get back on track quickly. The Champions League qualification is the main thing.”
Bosz is under intense pressure to turn Dortmund’s fortunes around at the end of a bad week as Tuesday’s 1-2 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur ended the thin hopes of reaching the UCL last 16.
