Profiling Niko Kovač: Who is BVB's new manager? | OneFootball

Niko Kovač has been announced as the new Borussia Dortmund manager this past Sunday, with a contract running until the end of the 2025/2026 season. The former Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayern Münich, and Wolfsburg boss will attempt to salvage a season that was destined for failure, with Dortmund currently in the bottom half of the Bundesliga table and a premature Pokal exit.

Following two consecutive wins with interim manager Mike Tullberg this past week, Dortmund had some room to breathe. However, it now needs to maintain its form to qualify for European competitions next season. As pressure builds around Signal Iduna Park, Kovač will be required to deliver right away since the Black-and-Yellows have already lost too much in this campaign.

But, for those who might not remember him, who exactly is Niko Kovač? And what can he do to turn this BVB boat away from the iceberg?
