Das neue Jahr ist erst wenige Tage alt – trotzdem gibt es einige Abschiede beim BVB!

Overview

  • Clapham confirmed his exit in a LinkedIn farewell, noting his time at the club ends with the close of 2025, while the club move takes effect now.
  • Niko Kovac thanked Clapham for his work during the Marbella winter camp media session and said the two sides agreed to go separate ways.
  • SPORT1 reports the club had already decided not to renew Clapham’s contract set to lapse in the summer.
  • According to SPORT1 information, Borussia Dortmund does not plan to hire a direct replacement for the set-piece coach role.
  • The departure follows public scrutiny over set pieces after the DFB-Pokal loss to Bayer Leverkusen, though SPORT1 indicates the move is likely unrelated to that debate.
