BVB coach Lucien Favre is in focus again. Michael Zorc gets rid of the discussions. But Lothar Matthäus fired up the rumor mill again.

  • Borussia Dortmund loses the Bundesliga * summit against FC Bayern Munich *.
  • After the defeat, BVB coach Lucien Favre indicates his imminent farewell and Sky expert Lothar Matthäus names  ex-Bayern coach * Niko Kovac as a possible successor.
  • According to the bosses, Lucien Favre was not up for discussion at BVB - Michael Zorc now also commented on a Klopp call. 

Update from June 2, 10.45 a.m .: Even if there has been an official denial, Lothar Matthäus of all people does not believe that Lucien Favre will be sitting on the BVB bench as a coach in the coming season

"If I look at his reaction again after the game, I will stick to my original impulse," said Matthäus in his Sky column: "I don't think Favre will be on the BVB bench next season." 

The record national player also explains his assumption: “But I think Favre is a totally consistent person if he is convinced that a path is over. And my feeling tells me that this point has now also been reached for him in Dortmund . ”

In addition, Matthäus continues to support the thesis that Niko Kovac could become the new coach of Borussia Dortmund . "On Tuesday I said intuitively that I was thinking of Niko Kovac as the new Dortmund coach," said the 59-year-old: "And this assumption is no coincidence. It is known that the Dortmunders tried to talk to Niko in winter. ” 

He could "only speculate whether they would have acted immediately if Niko had agreed to this or whether they wanted to sound out his general interest in a commitment to the future", but Kovac's statement to Hertha in the Corona break interprets Matthäus as clear Sign and moves the advertising drum for the ex-coach at FC Bayern : “He is emotional, empathetic, meticulous and a great guy. I can imagine him very well as a coach at Borussia Dortmund . ”

Update from May 29, 1:33 p.m .:  Lucien Favre made a statement with his statements after the Bayern bankruptcy. He then rowed back, claimed responsibility for BVB and attacked sky expert Lothar Matthäus , who immediately brought Niko Kovac into play as the new Dortmund coach after Favre's interview

Now the Borussen press conference was ahead of the Bundesliga game against SC Paderborn . Paderborn? There was something! In the first half of the season there was first the swatter against Bayern, then the 3: 3 against East Westphalia . After that, there was a lot of debate about Favre.

Lucien Favre: BVB coach against SC Paderborn in particular focus?

Now the Swiss responded to the current discussion. “I concentrate on the essentials and prepare the game. And done, I can't say more. "

Sports director Michael Zorc replied : “This is a coaching discussion that has been started again from the outside. I have already made clear statements in various media, our club boss Aki Watzke has found very clear words and made it clear: We are not having a coach discussion. Of course, we cannot prevent reports, which is probably the case in today's landscape. Only: In the club we are very calm. "

Update of May 27, 10:39 p.m .:  Lucien Favre is on everyone's lips after the BVB bankruptcy against FC Bayern Munich . Did he let it be known right after the game that he would soon no longer be a Borussia coach ?

The day after, Favre then backpedaled, declaring that he would not give up and that he would fulfill his contract with BVB .

"Sorry, but Lothar cannot know everything that happens internally with us. I am the coach, I see my players every day. He does his job, I mean. Both had hardly any training practice, and Axel Witsel had the same. And after several weeks of injury breaks, ”he made it clear.

Meanwhile, the coach of Dortmund's arch rival Schalke is also in focus. What's next for David Wagner?

BVB boss Watzke told the Funke media group : “There is currently no need for a coaching discussion. We play a very, very good second half of the season, got 27 out of 30 points before the game and were praised everywhere. Lucien Favre was no further than starting a discussion now. "

Lucien Favre before BVB exit? Watzke's statement from the pre-season makes one listen

Update May 27, 12:39 pm:  Lucien  Favre , the Swiss, is of course also observed in his home country. After the game, the newspaper  “Blick” wrote about the coach: “Will (BVB coach Lucien) Favre go on a BVB farewell tour in the next few weeks? It remains to be seen. But it all looks like it. 

Before the season, BVB boss Hans-Joachim Watzke said: "It will show in the second and third year whether we can win titles". He meant Favre's second and third years as a coach. And the master ambitions that Dortmund publicly claimed are probably gone. 

Whether Favre is now a third year may be something to show? To put it in the words "Blick": "It remains to be seen". 

Favre before BVB-Aus: international press with criticism of Dortmund coach

Update May 27, 11:03 am: Not only Lucien Favre has questioned himself, the international press * was also not satisfied with his decisions. The BVB coach replaced his midfielder Julian Brandt at half-time, who was definitely an asset. 

For example, the Spanish AS wrote: “Then something happened that few understood. Favre took out Brandt and Delaney, two players who had given Borussia firmness, to take on Can and Sancho. And delivered the leather to Bayern [...]. “. 

Dortmund is neither in the Champions League nor the DFB Cup - is the air completely out with seven points?

Lucien Favre: Trainer talent (32) remains an absolute candidate as successor at BVB

Update May 27, 6:15 am: Lothar Matthäus brought him into the game immediately after the BVB defeat in the Bundesliga cracker as successor to Lucien Favre : will Niko Kovac soon be on the command bridge of Westphalia? According to the picture , there has already been contact with the former FC Bayern coach in recent months.

It does not seem entirely clear whether Kovac's game philosophy actually fits Borussia's current squad. Another hot candidate on the German coach market apparently remains the ideal candidate. The BVB makers had tried in vain in the past for Julian Nagelsmann. The 32-year-old's commitment to the new season seems unrealistic. Nagelsmann's contract in Leipzig runs until 2023.

Lucien Favre: Out at BVB by saying goodbye in front of a sky camera? Matthew has his successor in his sights

Message of origin from May 27:  Munich / Dortmund - There are sentences in professional football that always indicate a clear trend.

Because they are said so often in connection with a decision that they can already be seen as a clear indication.

BVB coach Lucien Favre said such sentences after the defeat of Borussia Dortmund (0: 1) in the Bundesliga summit against Bayern Munich *. A dream goal by Joshua Kimmich * had sealed the bankruptcy. This is not the only reason why the 25-year-old is the Bayern captain of the future.

Sky reporter Patrick Wasserziehr wanted toknowfrom Favre if he wouldn't have done better. Specifically: whether his line-up against the record champions was perhaps the wrong one.

Lucien Favre: BVB coach after defeat against Bayern with hint

"This has been said here for months," he said about any doubts about his work in Dortmund and emphasized the "here" very clearly: "I know how to do it. I'll talk about it in a few weeks. " 

Wow, that sounded like goodbye. #Favre #BVBFCB

He said it with a smug smile, you could also sarcasm it. Did Favre indicate his departure as BVB coach (at the latest) after this Bundesliga season?

The 62-year-old Swiss had neither aggressive leader Emre Can * against the English superstar Jadon Sancho nor the Belgian veteran Axel Witsel, who only returned to training during the week , against Bayern .

Lucien Favre: Does he throw away at Borussia Dortmund?

"It's easy to say after the game. Can takes a few days, did only one training session with the team, then played in Wolfsburg. Jadon was not ready now. He can play more than half time, but 90 minutes will be difficult, ”said Favre , arguing eagerly. Can obviously saw the whole thing a little differently.

 "I hoped it," said the German international at Sky on a starting line-up: "The coach decided so, you have to accept that. If we win, everything is correct. Now you can discuss it. " 

Are Favre 's doubts about his work too much? Will he throw up soon?

Lucien Favre: BVB coach already threw at Hertha and in Gladbach

The coach, who was regarded as idiosyncratic, had chosen this path both at Hertha BSC (2009) and in Gladbach (2015).

In Berlin he suddenly invited the media to a press conference of his own in a hotel and reasoned his resignation in a less than charming manner; in Mönchengladbach , he caused the grudge of sports director Max Eberl because he allegedly had brought the club out of the blue with a fait accompli.

"I remain calm and trust myself," he said on Tuesday evening after the bankruptcy against Bayern . He had already cheered on the speculations. 

Lucien Favre: Lothar Matthäus brings Niko Kovac into play as successor at BVB

"I looked at you right away and thought: 'Favre away and Niko Kovac is coming'. I'm talking in a few weeks means: There is a clear statement, ”said TV expert and record national player Lothar Matthäus in the Sky studio to moderator Sebastian Hellmann.

The journalist asked Matthäus why he brought ex-Bayern coach Kovac into play. " Niko Kovac is on the market and Borussia Dortmund is probably looking for a new coach after this season, " replied the 58-year-old: "I would not have expected such a clear statement from Lucien Favre, not even after the defeat."

Lucien Favre: Borussia Dortmund will have to look for a new coach

The question, the Franke explained, “is Lucien Favre's bite still there? Or does he do what he did at other clubs? He's leaving his contract behind? ”

At the moment there are arguments for it. And for BVB to look for a new coach after the season.
