It was Dortmund’s third consecutive game without a win in the German Bundesliga. Favre himself called the debacle a “catastrophe.” He was the successor to Peter stoeger Head coach in Dortmund.

Already in the 1: 2 defeat of two weeks ago against Cologne and the 1: 1 of a week ago in Frankfurt, Borussia remained below their own claims, the deficit of fifth-placed Dortmund against defending champion Bayern Munich is five points after eleven rounds. The contract with Favre was extended until the end of the season. Your previous assistant Edin terzic should take over the “Bild” according to the end of the year.

Favre had led Dortmund to second place behind Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga in both 2019 and 2020. In the Champions League, BVB reached the round of 16 with the Swiss. The current season’s group stage in the premier class that ended on Wednesday ended with Dortmund in first place.

Despite the good work, Favre came early to the media criticism in the Ruhr. The trigger was the first season under their protection, when BVB gave up a temporary nine-point lead over Bayern. Furthermore, the Dortmund team almost always falls short in direct duels with the record champions. Dortmund lost four of the five league games against Bayern with Favre, two of them very clearly.
