In light of Borussia Dortmund's recent setbacks, head coach Niko Kovac has taken a firm approach to motivate his players. Following a 1-0 Bundesliga loss to Augsburg, which left the team in 10th position, Kovac conducted a direct and clear team meeting. With a decisive Champions League round of 16 match looming against Lille, tied 1-1 from the first leg, Kovac emphasized the importance of regaining focus on the sport.
Since taking over management duties from Nuri Sahin last month, Kovac has secured three wins out of eight matches. (With inputs from agencies.).
