Borussia Dortmund announce Peter Bosz as head coach
Dortmund: Borussia Dortmund has hired Peter Bosz as head from Ajax on Tuesday, a week after firing Thomas Tuchel.
Dortmund said the 53-year-old Bosz would get a two-year contract. The German club planned to hold a news conference later in the day.
Bosz is joining Dortmund after one season in charge of Ajax. He transformed the Dutch club into a dynamic team of young players who push forward in attack and are just as aggressive in defense.
Ajax finished second to Feyenoord in the Dutch league and reached the Europa League final, losing to Manchester United 2-0.
Dortmund finished third in the Bundesliga, securing a place in the Champions League, and won the German Cup after an inconsistent season. The club then fired Tuchel, who had fallen out with Dortmund's management.
During his playing career, Bosz briefly played in the Bundesliga for Hansa Rostock in the late 1990s.
