Alex Clapham announce his departure from Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund’s first team coach confirmed his departure from the club through a LinkedIn post.

Alex Clapham stepped down from his position at Borussia Dortmund after working as a technical coach for a year and a half. Clapham posted the news on his LinkedIn page as he thanked his colleagues and the fans.

“The end of 2025 aligns with the end of my time at Borussia Dortmund,” said the 36-year-old at the start of his farewell message. The Englishman had a contract at the club until the end of the season.

Clapham’s focus was mainly on set-piece duty from Nilko Kovac’s coaching team. He also worked as a technical coach under the previous coach, Nuri Şahin. Clapham also has work experience in his home nation England, Andorra, Spain, Sweden, Brazil, and Italy. Sky’s Patrick Berger reported Dortmund will not fill the position externally, and they opted to handle the departure internally.
