Managerial Changes and Squad Dynamics
Getting Niko Kovac to be head coach was done to try and fix how inconsistent the team is playing. He’s known for knowing tactics real well and now has to get the team playing better. The team with players like Gregor Kobel and Julian Brandt has shown they can do good in Europe but can’t seem to get it together in Germany.

Tactical Adjustments and Future Prospects
When you look at how Borussia Dortmund plays, you can see they got what it takes to be amazing but they keep losing focus and don’t work together good enough in German games.
