Borussia Dortmund's Matthias Sammer to Transition as Strategic Advisor: Contract Extension Details
Agreement Near on BVB Extension with Sammer - Agreement Extension Details by BVB and Sammer Disclosed
Get your popcorn ready, football fans! Matthias Sammer, doppelgänger of a German spherical object (the ball), is reportedly about to ink a fresh two-year deal with Borussia Dortmund, according to the bigwigs over at Bild newspaper. The deal will likely bepenned once Sammer gets back from the Club World Cup, which, let's be honest, is probably more exciting than his contract negotiations.
Before the excitement sets in, it's important to know that Sammer's new role won't be as hands-on as it used to be. Think more along the lines of consultant to the club's management, and less along the lines of a Day-to-Day Captain of the squad. Starting from the next season, he'll be joining forces with sporting business manager Lars Ricken to make some slick strategic decisions. But remember, he'll keep his boots off the sports operations battlefield, focusing more on the long game instead.
As for his television appearances, it's adios to that, too. The former German Football Association's sports director had previously found himself in hot water for throwing some shade on Dortmund's team during the Champions League season on streaming service Prime Video. But fear not, you'll still be able to catch him rocking out on the guitar during team meetings or perhaps, doing his famous gorilla impression in the locker room.
