Report: Kovač’s future at BVB hinges on club achieving goals

Die Schwarzgelben’s boss has some interesting clauses in his current contact.

Separation between Borussia Dortmund and head coach Niko Kovač is not out of the question in summer, Sky Germany reports.

The 53-year-old’s contract runs until 2026, but if BVB fail to reach their goals, that could change. 

Sky information suggests there is a special severance package included in Kovač’s deal.

If Kovač and his assistant coach were to be dismissed, it would cost BVB around €3million in total. 

Essentially, if Dortmund were to miss out on European football next season, Kovač is entitled to a severance payment worth 50% of his salary.

The BVB boss currently earns €3-4million per annum and thus more than his predecessor Nuri Sahin.
