The Borussia Dortmund squad is faced with a change. The association is urgently looking for a new trainer to get out of the current situation. Urs Fischer is currently being traded as a possible candidate. Fischer, former coach of Union Berlin, could look after BVB until the end of the season to offer a temporary solution, while Dortmund is looking for a long -term perspective. derwesten.de reports about the internal discussions about Fischers.

According to Borussia Dortmund's plan, Nuri Şahin is to be replaced as head coach, while Mike Tullberg, who has been training the U19 since 2020, will temporarily take responsibility. The next game will be against Werder Bremen on Saturday. Urs Fischer is mentioned in the internal conversations as a potential “savior”. However, there was no official contact between BVB and Fischer by Thursday evening, although he shows great interest in the task. fr.de describes the tense circumstances around the change of coach.

fishermen success and possible solution

Fischer, who led Union Berlin from the 2nd Bundesliga to the Champions League, is considered an experienced trainer who has been waiting for a new chance since his release in November 2023. In the past, he has been Swiss champions with FC Basel twice. His experience could help him stabilize the team in the decisive phase of the season. According to "Sky", Fischer's name is discussed internally in Dortmund, whereby the options on the current coaching market are considered to be limited.

In addition to Fischer, Niko Kovač, who most recently worked at VfL Wolfsburg, is also called a candidate, but has denied any contact with BVB. In the long term, Dortmund could think about Sebastian Hoeneß, Roger Schmidt and Sandro Wagner. Hoeneß has a contract with VfB Stuttgart by 2027, but could change for a transfer fee of 5-6 million euros. Schmidt is currently without a club and is planning a new challenge at the earliest.

Change of coach and their effects

Change of coach in football are often the last way out if the team's performance does not meet expectations. Scientific studies show that such changes can lead to a short -term increase in performance. Sebastian Zart, sports scientist at the TU Kaiserslautern, explains that about half of the studies show positive effects, while the other half does not do so. An analysis of almost 4,000 games and 150 coaches showed that the positive influence of a change can last up to 16 game days. Br.de emphasizes the complexity of these topics and recommends to give coaches time, to work and strengthen the team in the long term.

whether Borussia Dortmund with Urs Fischer finds the right trainer for the upcoming challenges remains to be seen. The upcoming decisions could significantly influence not only the current season, but also the future orientation of the association.
