Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl also spoke on the appointment: “Armin Reutershahn is a renowned and highly experienced football specialist who has worked alongside coaches like Julian Nagelsmann, Niko Kovac and Adi Hütter during his long career and has always striven for maximum success. We’re convinced that Armin Reutershahn will enrich our coaching staff with his skills and experience, and will help us to achieve our objectives for the season.”
Reutershahn will begin his new role on January 2 and has signed a contract until the end of the season.
