Dortmund replaces Tuchel with Ajax coach

The new man who led Ajax to the Europa League final, Peter Bosz, will coach Dortmund from next season.

Bosz has signed a two-year contract with Dortmund. The new coach will be tasked with leading the Signal Iduna Park team to progress in the two main arenas of the Bundesliga and the Champions League.

Bosz has spent just one season in charge of Ajax, which included runners-up finishes in both the Dutch league and Europa League. The Dutchman has impressed with his attacking style of play and his use of young players.

Before joining Ajax, Bosz also coached Vitesse, Maccabi Tel Aviv and several other small clubs. His most notable achievement was winning the Dutch second division with Heracles Almelo in 2005.

Last season, Dortmund finished third in the Bundesliga. The black and yellow team also had to go through a fierce race with Hoffenheim to win a ticket to the group stage of the Champions League next season. Dortmund also only reached the quarter-finals of the 2016-2017 Champions League and was eliminated by Monaco.

These setbacks have damaged former coach Thomas Tuchel's position. Even after winning the German Cup, Dortmund's first title in three years, Tuchel was fired.
