Borussia Dortmund have named Thomas Tuchel to succeed Juergen Klopp as their manager on a three-year-deal, the Bundesliga club said on Sunday. Tuchel, who managed Mainz for five seasons between 2009 and 2014, will take up the post from July 1 after Klopp announced on Wednesday that he would be ending his seven-year tenure at the club.
Tuchel is now tasked with turning the fortunes of Dortmund around after an abysmal domestic season and to replicate the success under Klopp, who won two league titles and a German Cup and led the team to the Champions League final in 2013.
Bundesliga champions in 2011 and 2012 Dortmund have struggled this season and sit eighth in the standings after a brief spell at the bottom.
