Borussia Dortmund have parted company with their head coach Thomas Tuchel. The announcement was made by the Bundesliga club on Tuesday after a meeting between Hans-Joachim Watzke (Chairman, Borussia Dortmund), Michael Zorc (Sports Director, Borussia Dortmund), Thomas Tuchel and his agent Olaf Meinking.

“We’d like to thank Thomas Tuchel and his coaching team for their successful work at BVB, which culminated in the DFB-Pokal win over Eintracht Frankfurt in Berlin on Saturday. We would like to wish Thomas all the best in his career,” the club statetd in a release published on its website.

Borussia Dortmund also made clear they would not comment on the reasons behind the split from Tuchel, who still had a year left on his contract. The decision is a “result of a long process” according to the club release.

“BVB attaches great importance to the fact that the cause of the separation had absolutely nothing to do with a disagreement between the two parties.”

“The wellbeing of Borussia Dortmund, to which they were much more than only sporting success, will always be more important than individuals and possible differences between them.”

Thomas Tuchel commented on Twitter saying, “I am grateful for two beautiful, eventful and exciting years. Too bad that it does not go on. Thanks to the fans, to the team, to the staff and to all who supported us. I wish @BVB all the best. TT.”

The 43-year-old, who led Dortmund to victory in the German Cup (DFB-Pokal) final on Saturday, took charge at Dortmund in the summer of 2015 and had a contract that was to expire at the end of next season.

Ich bin dankbar für zwei schöne, ereignisreiche und aufregende Jahre. Schade, dass es nicht weitergeht.
