Lars Ricken: “Loyalty and discretion with Niko Kovac weren’t free”
BVB head to Norway with Niko Kovac in focus: Ricken says the staff’s renewal reflects real value, not empty praise.
Lars Ricken, the Borussia Dortmund CEO, spoke before the team leaves for Norway and addressed Niko Kovac’s contract extension. Ricken said the club’s idea of “loyalty and discretion” has mattered, and that they “didn’t get it for nothing.”
In his comments, the Dortmund executive underlined why the coach is so appreciated in the organization. For Ricken, it’s not just words: the staff have delivered the level the club expects, which is why renewing Kovac became part of the sporting planning.
The statements, reported by kicker, come right ahead of the Dortmund trip to Norway.
