Ex-BVB coach

Stöger: “I wouldn’t tell Dortmund anything about Sturm”

He knows the city, the stadium, the environment and the club inside out: Peter Stöger. The Viennese coach coached the cult club from Dortmund from December 2017 to June 2018, leading the Bundesliga club from mid-table to the Champions League. The 58-year-old spoke to Die Krone about the Dortmund legend, 80,000 fans and former protégé Nuri Sahin.

It was an offer that Peter Stöger could not refuse in the winter of 2017. Almost immediately after being released by FC Köln, Dortmund boss Aki Watzke called the Viennese. "He asked me to help until the summer. The club was eighth at the time and not doing well. The clear goal was to achieve a Champions League place. And we achieved that in the end."
