Is This The End Of The Road For TT?

Dortmund boss on his way out

- Nick Bidwell

Could Borussia Dortmund’s German Cup Final showdown with Eintracht Frankfurt on May 27 be the swansong of coach Thomas Tuchel?

With Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke recently admitting that his relationship with TT was strained, and several players briefing against him in the media, there now seems nowhere for the 43-year-old to go but the exit. The simmering Tuchel-Watzke clash is, to all intents and purposes, a difference of opinion about the decision to rearrange Dortmund’s Champions League quarter-final against Monaco just 24 hours after a bomb attack on the club’s bus. A furious Tuchel later alleged neither he nor the players had been consulted, taking a particularly big swing at UEFA. Watzke, though, believes the diatribe was equally aimed at him and his fellow board members.
