Borussia Dortmund have announced that Marco Rose will become the new head coach of the Bundesliga side. The 44-year-old gaffer gave Dortmund an assurance to join BVB from league rivals Borussia Mönchengladbach ahead of the 2021/22 season.

Dortmund have further announced that the club would not issue any further statements before the end of the on-going 2020/21 season with respect to all involved parties.

Meanwhile, Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Sporting Director Max Eberl said: “In the past few weeks, we have held a lot of discussions with Marco about his future. Unfortunately, Marco has decided that he would like to exercise a clause in his contract, which was due to expire in June 2022, and move to Borussia Dortmund in the summer.”

“Therefore, Marco will no longer be available to us after the end of the season should the conditions set out in his contract be met on time. Until then, we will do everything in our power together with Marco to achieve this seasons’s goals in the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and Champions League,” he concluded his statement in an official release by Rose’s current club.
