Personnel

Sebastian Kehl extends until 2027

Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund and sporting director Sebastian Kehl are set to move into the future together. The 44-year-old this Thursday put pen to paper on a contract with the eight-time German champions that runs until 30 June 2027.

“Sebastian and I have known and trusted each other for many years. Over the past few weeks, we have held intensive discussions about content, structures and economic matters and have now brought these to a positive conclusion. Our primary objective is clear: in the coming years, we want to be continuously represented in the UEFA Champions League and play the role required for that in the Bundesliga. To achieve these goals, we will continue to pool all our forces. As sporting director, Sebastian has my full support in this endeavour,” said Borussia Dortmund's Managing Director for Sport Lars Ricken.

Sebastian Kehl wore the BVB shirt as a player for 13 years, lifted three German Bundesliga titles, won the league and cup double in 2012 and captained the team for six years. He became head of the licensed player division in 2018 and finally succeeded Michael Zorc as sporting director in the summer of 2022.

"I'm extremely connected to Borussia Dortmund and am delighted to be able to continue working for this great club. I feel the trust that our management has placed in me as sporting director and would like to thank Lars in particular for the good and constructive discussions over the past few weeks,” said Sebastian Kehl, adding: ”We have agreed on clear competencies and responsibilities and have great ambitions together. I will continue to do my part to ensure that we lead BVB into a successful future."

He made four personnel changes compared to the 2-1 defeat in the Champions League on Tuesday evening: captain Emre Can, Ramy Bensebaini, who was suspended for the match in Bologna, Julian Brandt and Karim Adeyemi started in place of Waldemar Anton, Maximilian Beier, Giovanni Reyna and Julien Duranville (all substitutes).<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2025/01/25/bl-spielbericht/34_Bremen_Nmecha.jpg\" data-assetref=\"34_Bremen_Nmecha-1737818737966\"><\/p>\nTactics:  <\/b> \nTullberg made only minor adjustments and lined up the team \u2013 as per usual \u2013 in a 4-3-3 formation, but with a new face in the sole holding midfield role: Groß occupied the central position in front of the defence and Nmecha moved one position forward and played alongside Brandt. Werder, in a 5-3-2 formation, withdrew deep off the ball and mostly pressed only from the halfway line. Once down a man (from the 21st minute onwards), the Black & Yellows played in a 4-2-3 formation with Groß, Can, Bensebaini and Ryerson in defence, Sabitzer and Brandt in midfield, and Adeyemi, Guirassy and Gittens in attack.<\/p>\nThe match & analysis: \n <\/b>BVB applied pressure from the outset, but were not initially able to cause problems for the Bremen defence and were forced into an early substitution when Nmecha hobbled off the pitch following a challenge with Grüll (8). Ryerson was also booked in the 10th minute and subsequently had to exercise greater caution. The Black & Yellows did actually find themselves down a player shortly afterwards. Veljkovics played the ball towards the halfway line and Schmid fed Grüll, who escaped from Schlotterbeck. There was a minor push 10 metres outside the box and the Bremen player went down, prompting referee Dingert to show Schlotterbeck the red card without hesitation (21).<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2025/01/25/bl-spielbericht/34_Bremen_Schlotterbeck.jpg\" data-assetref=\"34_Bremen_Schlotterbeck-1737818753970\"><\/p>\nBVB opened the scoring seven minutes later. Gittens broke through down the left and cut inside but could not find a way through and played the ball back to the flank. Ryerson crossed towards the back post, Brandt played it back across goal and Guirassy headed over the line (28). Dortmund continued to control the game even with 10 men, only allowing Werder one shot at goal in the first half and repeatedly looking to get forward themselves.<\/p>\nDespite their numerical inferiority, the Black & Yellows covered similar ground (55.3 vs. 55.6 kilometres by half-time), boasted a strong challenge win rate (58%) and continued to look defensively solid at the start of the second half with a strong display from captain Emre Can at the heart of defence. A foul on Gittens in the 51st minute led to a free-kick halfway into the Bremen half: Groß delicately played the ball towards the centre-right of the Bremen box, Guirassy drilled it into the middle, Bensebaini jumped and the under-pressure Friedl deflected the ball into his own net. It probably would have gone in anyway but the DFL still classified it officially as an own goal.<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2025/01/25/bl-spielbericht/34_Guirassy_Bremen.jpg\" data-assetref=\"34_Guirassy_Bremen-1737818776774\"><\/p>\nBrandt tested Zetterer with a long-range effort (59). And up until the 65th minute, it did not look as though Borussia would be troubled despite their numerical inferiority. But then former Dortmund player Bittencourt came off the bench and brought SV Werder back into it with a stunning strike from 20 metres out. Kobel had no chance against the 100km/h rocket, which flew into the top right corner from the goalie's perspective. Bremen had made it 2-1 with their very first chance. Only seven minutes later, Kaboré cut inside from the left flank. Ducksch played the ball out of the box, Stage threaded it back through into his path and Ducksch got the better of Kobel to equalise at 2-2.<\/p>\nThe Black & Yellows played with a five-man rearguard for the final quarter of an hour after Anton had come on to replace Brandt, with Bremen now pressing for a third goal and leading the shot count at 8-4. But BVB almost won the game themselves: Groß delivered a free-kick into the danger zone, Zetterer struggled to deal with it and Beier followed up from 17 metres, only for Zetterer to stop it going to 3-2 (90). At the other end, Kobel saved with his foot and Beier turned behind for a corner (90+2).<\/p>\nOutlook:  \n <\/b>BVB will play host to Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday (21:00 CET), before paying a visit to 1.

Kobel had no chance against the 100km/h rocket, which flew into the top right corner from the goalie's perspective. Bremen had made it 2-1 with their very first chance. Only seven minutes later, Kaboré cut inside from the left flank. Ducksch played the ball out of the box, Stage threaded it back through into his path and Ducksch got the better of Kobel to equalise at 2-2.<\/p>\nThe Black & Yellows played with a five-man rearguard for the final quarter of an hour after Anton had come on to replace Brandt, with Bremen now pressing for a third goal and leading the shot count at 8-4. But BVB almost won the game themselves: Groß delivered a free-kick into the danger zone, Zetterer struggled to deal with it and Beier followed up from 17 metres, only for Zetterer to stop it going to 3-2 (90). At the other end, Kobel saved with his foot and Beier turned behind for a corner (90+2).<\/p>\nOutlook:  \n <\/b>BVB will play host to Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday (21:00 CET), before paying a visit to 1. FC Heidenheim in the Bundesliga next Saturday (15:30 CET).<\/p>\n<h2>Teams & goals<\/h2>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2025/01/25/bl-spielbericht/34_Grafik.jpg\" data-assetref=\"34_Grafik-1737818718969\"><\/p>\nBundesliga Matchday 19 \n <\/b>Saturday 25 January 2025, 15:30 CET \nBORUSSIA DORTMUND 2-2 (1-0) WERDER BREMEN<\/b><\/p>\nBor.

Liga. The head-to-head record is sobering from a Black & Yellow perspective: Borussia Dortmund have never been able to beat Arminia. The East Westphalians have triumphed four times, while there have been three stalemates. "We're only focusing on ourselves. I'm only interested in us having a good run," said U23 coach Jan Zimmermann in the run-up to the match. The 45-year-old went on to add that they had deserved significantly more points from the last three games against Bielefeld. In the first half-season, BVB lost 1-0 due to a late goal in the 88th minute.<\/p>\nNews from the U23 camp:<\/b> The Black & Yellows, who occupy eighth place with 29 points, are unbeaten in four league matches. "We're self-confident and know what we're capable of. We want to keep picking up points and increase the gap below us," were Zimmermann's words to outline the approach. He remains without a handful of players against the East Westphalians. "This is not a new situation for us; it has been the case throughout the season." However, the U23 coach has no desire to complain about this and will once again put his improvisational skills to the test.<\/p>\nThe serious injury sustained by Felix Paschke is the only thing that has dampened Zimmermann's mood: the defensive midfielder suffered a cruciate ligament rupture and will be out for months. "That is of course bitter for Felix. He was on a really good track. He is now ruled out of action just when his strengths are increasingly coming to the fore. We'll give him the time and support he needs to get fit."<\/p>\nStats and facts on the opposition:<\/b> Following their relegation from the 2. Liga, Arminia Bielefeld struggled in their first season in the third tier. Instead of rebounding, the East Westphalians continued to falter and ended in 14th position. "You can see from that that familiarity and training do play a role. Relegated teams, who often go through an upheaval, always have to find themselves as a team first," said the BVB coach, who believes promoted teams have it easier in this respect, as they carry the euphoria and self-confidence with them. <\/p>\nThings are going much better for Bielefeld in the current campaign. With 31 points from 20 games, coach Mitch Kniat's team are one place ahead of BVB. Arminia also have one of the league's best defences (only 22 goals conceded). The former Bundesliga club also remain in the DFB-Pokal this season, with Werder Bremen set to visit the SchücoArena in the quarter-finals. Despite the positive development in the away camp, Zimmermann is confident that his team will be able to collect more points on Sunday.<\/p>\nStadion Rote Erde opens at 18:00 CET.

Liga, Arminia Bielefeld struggled in their first season in the third tier. Instead of rebounding, the East Westphalians continued to falter and ended in 14th position. "You can see from that that familiarity and training do play a role. Relegated teams, who often go through an upheaval, always have to find themselves as a team first," said the BVB coach, who believes promoted teams have it easier in this respect, as they carry the euphoria and self-confidence with them. <\/p>\nThings are going much better for Bielefeld in the current campaign. With 31 points from 20 games, coach Mitch Kniat's team are one place ahead of BVB. Arminia also have one of the league's best defences (only 22 goals conceded). The former Bundesliga club also remain in the DFB-Pokal this season, with Werder Bremen set to visit the SchücoArena in the quarter-finals. Despite the positive development in the away camp, Zimmermann is confident that his team will be able to collect more points on Sunday.<\/p>\nStadion Rote Erde opens at 18:00 CET.
