During his time in Frankfurt and Berlin, he gained valuable insights into the training of young players. In addition, he is known as a TV pundit, has proven his expertise in this area too and therefore brings an additional facet of football to the table,” said Borussia Dortmund’s Managing Director for Sport, Lars Ricken.
Thomas Broich added, “My discussion with Lars Ricken were characterised by a high level of agreement in terms of his vision for the future and my ideas.
