Days of the Dutch manager in Borussia Dortmund are coming to an end.
Peter Bos is now working under colossal pressure, and after the drama that occurred in the derby with Schalke, the hope that the Dutchman will save the season for the "bumblebees" almost disappeared. Usually in this phase of the championship, all the media are looking for a new mentor to the Dortmund neighbors, but this season everything is exactly the opposite. Victims of unsuccessful circumstances were "yellow-black".

Six weeks ago, Dortmund was on top, Borussia took the first line in the Bundesliga with a comfortable 5-point handicap in the fight against Bavaria. Then they had one missed goal with 20 goals. But, as it turned out, the "Bos effect" for Borussia turned out to be very short-term. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, everything went wrong. The first bell rang after the defeat of 1: 3 in London against Tottenham in the Champions League.
For the first time BVB pointed to serious problems in their defensive line. Spurs took advantage of many of the weaknesses of Dortmund. Peter Bos has two main problems that require a quick solution: first, Dortmund has no selection of players who could consistently implement Ajax 4-3-3, and secondly, he stubbornly refuses to reform the game in defense. The extremely high defensive line of "bumblebees" will most likely continue to catch armfuls of balls into their own net due to a poor positional game and lack of speed.
As Kicker wrote, the Dortmund leadership does not intend to cut off the shoulder and part with the coach. At least to the next championship match against Bayer the team will prepare Bos. Given the current form of "pharmacists," the likelihood that Bos will remain at the helm of "bumblebees" is very small. We decided to analyze which managers can replace the 54-year-old Dutchman.
Lucien Favre Favre was one of the main candidates for the replacement of Thomas Tuchel after the German left. Then Nice, namely this club coaches the Swiss, refused to let her manager in the summer.
Favre has many years of experience in the Bundesliga with Gerta and Borussia from Monchengladbach, and last season he spent in Nice, finishing with her on the third line. His ability to form an organized and disciplined defense would now be very useful to "bumblebees".
Nice in the current season of League 1 hanging in the middle of the table. After losing 5-0 to Lyon last Sunday, we can assume that Favre will soon be available. The main disadvantage of this specialist is the lack of flexible tactics in the game.
Ronald Cooman Another ex-trainer of Ajax is currently out of work after being fired from Everton. Kuman had a wonderful period in Southampton (2014-2016), which "struck" his way to the Liverpool club. In his first season, he took 7th place with "toffee" (qualification in the League of Europe). But having lost the main striker Romel Lukaku, Ronald was unable to find a replacement for him, which strongly affected the results of the team.
Borussia D has a good opportunity to hire another specialist who will continue to inculcate the Ajax style, because the present one did not succeed in translating these ideas.
Julian Nagelsmann The youngest manager in the Bundesliga is also now under severe pressure. Hoffenheim has already departed from the League of Europe after a 3-1 defeat by Braga, and last Sunday's "village" lost 3-0 in Hamburg.
Nagelsmann's reputation in Germany is still high, and he is one of the most sought-after German managers. Unfortunately for the "bumblebees", interest in it is also shown by Bavaria.
Luis Enrique Another high-profile coach without a club. The former coach of Roma, Celta and Barcelona is probably the most ideal option for Dortmund, given his experience. True, it is not known how long it will take for him to adapt to Germany, but his track record and experience is worth it to take a chance.
Laurent Blanc The Frenchman was a good coach for PSG, and even achieved success in the national championship, but eventually lost his post, as Parisians became fired with a desire to conquer Europe. Blanc is a man who knows how to do his work conscientiously. Perhaps it will be the most harmless appointment in terms of risks.
I will add, on Monday, November 27, the German press began to spread rumors that the former coach of Stuttgart and Eintracht Armin Veh will become Bos's successor.
The 56-year-old coach, who won the Bundesliga in 2007 with the Swabians, will remain at the helm of the "bumblebees" until the end of the current season, after which the team will receive Julian Nagelsmann. And manager Huddersfield Town David Wagner is the main candidate for work in Hoffenheim, if the youngest German championship coach decides to move to Signal-Iduna Park.
