Marco Rosa will be the coach of Borussia Dortmund starting this summer, the current team of the 44-year-old German coach, Borussia Mönchengladbach, announced today (Monday), which he will leave after two years.

Rosa, who joined Gladbach in 2019 on a three-year contract (until the summer of 2022), has decided to activate a clause in his contract that allows him to be released for € 5 million, an amount that Dortmund will have to transfer.

Geldbach’s athletic director, Max Eberl, Said: “In recent weeks we have had many conversations with Marco about his future. Unfortunately, Marco has decided that he wants to activate the release clause in his contract, which is due to expire in June 2022, and leave for Borussia Dortmund in the summer. Therefore Marco will not be with us after the end of the season, if the conditions set in the contract are met on time. Until then, we will do everything we can together with Marco to achieve our goals this season in the league, the cup and in Europe. “

In Germany, it is claimed that the candidates to come to Gladbach in place of Rosa are Eintracht Frankfurt coach Eddie Hotte of Austria, Werder Bremen coach Florian Kohfelt and Red Bull Salzburg coach Jesse Marsh of America.

Last season, his first season at Gladbach, Rosa led his team to fourth place and back to the Champions League, while playing fun football. This season his team is in seventh place, but is still fighting for a place in the Champions League, just 6 points from fourth-placed Wolfsburg. In the Champions League, they qualified for the quarter-finals from second place in the tough 2nd house, together with Real Madrid, leaving Inter and Shakhtar Donetsk out. In the German Cup she qualified for the quarterfinals where she will meet… Borussia Dortmund in about two weeks.

Dortmund is experiencing a terrible period for them and is in sixth place in the Bundesliga with 33 points – just like Gladbach. The season started badly and two months ago, after a 5: 1 defeat to Stuttgart, Lucian Fabre was sacked. Edin Trejic took Fabre’s place as interim coach, but since then the deterioration has only intensified and in the last six league games the team has recorded only one victory. The next day they will meet Sevilla in the first game of the Champions League quarter-finals.
