BERLIN, May 30 (Xinhua) -- Borussia Dortmund and their head coach Thomas Tuchel have mutually agreed to end their cooperation with immediate effect, the Bundesliga club announced in an official statement on Tuesday.
After two years at the sidelines, Thomas Tuchel will no longer be the head coach of the "BVB" despite a contract until June 2018.
"Unfortunately, in the current personnel constellation we have no foundation for a successful cooperation. That is why, after intense talks and many discussions, we finally decided not to continue the cooperation with the coach beyond the end of the season 2016/2017," Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said in an open letter.
Tuchel took the helm at Dortmund, as the successor of Juergen Klopp, in the summer 2015 to lead the team to a second place finish in the Bundesliga, into the German Cup final and the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.
In his second year, Tuchel helped the "BVB" into the UEFA Champions League last eight. Dortmund finished on the third place of the standings and lifted the German Cup following a 2-1 win over Frankfurt.
"We would like to thank Thomas Tuchel and his coaching staff. We wish Thomas Tuchel only the very best for his future," Watzke said. Enditem
