The announcement ends speculation over his future following a remarkable turnaround in the second half of the 2024–25 season

Borussia Dortmund have confirmed that head coach Niko Kovač has signed a new contract, keeping him at the helm until June 30, 2027. The announcement ends speculation over his future following a remarkable turnaround in the second half of the 2024–25 season.

The 53-year-old Croatian took over in winter when Dortmund were languishing in 11th place in the Bundesliga. Under his leadership, the team surged up the table and secured a coveted spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League.

“We’re Just Getting Started” — Kovač on His Dortmund Mission

Speaking after the contract extension, Kovač said:

“We have made a lot of progress together in the last six months to get Borussia Dortmund back on track on the pitch. We sense that there’s a high level of trust in us as coaches, and we feel that we can achieve something special here together with the club and the fans. The conversations we have had over the last few weeks have reinforced my conviction that, building on our achievements so far, we can deliver long-term success at this club. Our aim is to play our part in getting Borussia back to where it used to be through hard work, making clear-sighted decisions and enjoying what we do – there’s a lot we still want to achieve.”
