BVB and Sammer in negotiations for contract extension - Extension of Contract Agreement Discussion Between BVB and Sammer Detailed in Report
Looks like Matthias Sammer and Borussia Dortmund (BVB) are about to seal a two-year contract revision, as hinted by reports from the Bild newspaper. The deal, set to be signed upon Sammer's arrival from the Club World Cup, is currently in the works.
In a change from his previous duties, the 57-year-old Sammer will shift into a consultancy role, teaming up with sport business manager Lars Ricken, his former bunkmate during away games with BVB, in high-level decisions. Stepping back from day-to-day sport operations, Sammer will be out of the mix when it comes to TV gigs analyzing BVB games on streaming platforms like Prime Video.
Recent numbers reveal a decrease in Sammer's income from roughly €600,000 to €300,000 per season[1][3]. With his new role, he'll be more focused on strategic decisions rather than the nitty-gritty of sporting matters.
No exact date has been announced for the contract signing, but it's scheduled for after the Club World Cup round. As of now, Sammer won't attend the tournament, so keep an eye on the news for the signing's official announcement[2].
