Borussia Dortmund Targets Nils-Ole Book as New Sporting Director
Borussia Dortmund has reportedly reached a preliminary agreement with Nils-Ole Book of Elversberg to take over as the club's new sporting director. This development follows Sebastian Kehl's immediate departure from the role on Sunday.
Book, often dubbed the ‘pearl diver’ for his impressive track record, has garnered significant attention from Dortmund's management. His tenure at Elversberg saw the club ascend remarkably from the fourth tier to the 2. Bundesliga, even coming close to a top-flight promotion after a play-off loss to Heidenheim.
A key aspect of his success involved orchestrating successful loan deals for talents like Nick Woltemade, Fisnik Asllani, and Paul Wanner, all of whom are now performing at a high level.
While Dortmund aims for a swift appointment, a final agreement with the 2. Bundesliga club, Elversberg, is still pending.
