WA few days after his official introduction, Marco Rose stood on the soccer field for the first time on Sunday as the new coach of the DFB Cup winner Borussia Dortmund. At 10.30 a.m., the 44-year-old welcomed the eight-time German champions’ squad, which was still decimated because of the European Championship.
“I’ve known him for a long time, also privately, and I know what a great guy we’ve got,” said Sebastian Kehl, who will succeed sports director Michael Zorc in the coming year, about Rose. The former BVB professional Kehl feels that “the players really want this club. We want to make a difference this season. “
The still thinned out squad was led by captain Marco Reus. The 32-year-old had canceled the national coach Joachim Löw, who has since resigned, for the pan-European tournament after the end of last season. The training streamed on BVB-TV was captured by several cameras, including a drone camera that provided aerial images of the extensive training facility in Dortmund-Brackel.
One will be in the European Championship finals
The 44-year-old Rose, who comes from Borussia Mönchengladbach and for whom BVB has paid a transfer fee of an estimated five million euros, first spoke to the players, then, among other things, athletic and gymnastics exercises as well as small forms of play with the ball were on the agenda Plan. All professionals had already completed performance diagnostic tests and the mandatory corona tests.
After the departure of Jadon Sancho for 85 million euros to Manchester United, the DFB Cup winner is once again active on the transfer market. According to Kehl, top star Erling Haaland is expected back in Dortmund at the beginning of next week, while US-American Giovanni Reyna is expected at the end of this week.
This is where the new trainer tackles himself and carries the training goal.

The EM drivers will gradually arrive at the training camp in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland (July 23rd to 31st). A BVB professional will definitely be in the European Championship final: Either the Englishman Jude Bellingham or the Dane Thomas Delaney.
The former German national player Alexander Zickler is at Rose’s side as co-coach. After winning the DFB Cup, Edin Terzic decided against returning to this position. He now holds the newly created position of Technical Director at BVB.
