BERLIN, Nov. 19-- Borussia Dortmund's Dutch coach Peter Bosz has to fight for his job in two crucial games this week. According to several media reports the 53-year-old needs to deliver satisfactory results against Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur this Tuesday evening and in the derby against national rival Schalke 04 next Saturday to secure his job. After only one point gained out of the last five Bundesliga games and the Blacks and Yellows expected to exit the Champions League as early as after the group stage the club leaders' patience seems to come to an end. CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke and sports director Michael Zorc consider giving the former Ajax Amsterdam coach the sack the Berlin-based tabloid Bild and the Essen-based newspaper Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung report. Other German media assume Bosz has time to create a turnaround until the near winter-break. The club at present is going through a tough stress-test after the 1-2 defeat against VfB Stuttgart last Friday. The Berlin-based newspaper Die Welt says it is uncertain how much more pressure the side can bear. While Borussia is in danger to miss the next round of the current Champions League campaign, the club is facing a much bigger problem. If missing qualification for the 2018/2019 Champions League campaign, the club would not only lose millions of euros but his attractiveness to superior talents. Losing contact with the league's top three is said to be a red line. |
