Borussia Dortmund have sacked coach Marco Rose after just one season in office.

The German coach led Dortmund to a respectable finish in second place in the Bundesliga during his first season, but humiliating losses in the Champions League and Europa League had an impact on his future.

Rose was brought to Westfalenstadion last summer after two years with Borussia Monchengladbach.

A statement from Dortmund read: “Hans-Joachim Watzke, Michael Zorc and Sebastian Kehl would like to thank Marco Rose for his work. His great dedication and trusted discussions and wish him all the best for his personal and sporting future.”
