What’s more intriguing is the context of Kovac's previous coaching triumphs at Bayern Munich, which could bring a winning mindset to Dortmund. While now beginning his tenure, the German media is buzzing with speculation about how he'll craft a dynamic squad and potentially make tactical changes that could shake things up in the Bundesliga. As the clock ticks down to keeping Borussia Dortmund among the elite teams in Europe, all eyes will undeniably be on Kovac’s coaching techniques and strategies.
