Borussia Dortmund appointed Croatian Niko Kovac as manager on Thursday after the Bundesliga club sacked Nuri Sahin last week.

Former Bayern Munich boss, Niko Kovac, is the successor to Nuri Sahin. Though he may not have the same connection to BVB as his predecessors Nuri Sahin and Edin Terzic, Niko Kovac is a familiar face in the Bundesliga.

Borussia Dortmund is set to appoint Niko Kovac as the club’s new head coach. Dortmund’s managing director of sport, Lars Ricken, confirmed reports that the club had reached an agreement with the former Frankfurt, Bayern, Monaco and Wolfsburg coach this week.
