After separating from Sebastian Kehl, BVB quickly found a successor. The successful Elversberg manager Book is about to move to BVB.
Borussia Dortmund is apparently close to filling the vacant position of sports director. After Separation from Sebastian Kehl The club has chosen Nils-Ole Book as his successor. There should already be a basic agreement between the 40-year-old and BVB. “Sky” and “Bild” report this unanimously.
BVB will have to pay a transfer fee for Book
Book, who is currently under contract with SV Elversberg, is considered the top candidate. According to “Sky”, both sides have come closer on key points. However, a final agreement between the clubs is still pending as Book recently extended his contract in Saarland. A transfer fee is therefore likely to be due.
As “Bild” reports, the framework conditions for the change have already been largely clarified. Accordingly, all that is missing is the final coordination between Dortmund and Elversberg. There is a transfer fee in the low six-figure range.
The Dortmund team is pushing ahead with personnel in order to advance squad planning for the coming season at an early stage. After Kehl left, sports director Lars Ricken emphasized that the summer was the right time for changes.
BVB before an agreement: Book should inherit Kehl
With Book, Dortmund would be signing a manager who has made a name for himself in recent years, especially at SV Elversberg.
There he played a key role in the sporting advancement and impressed with his good sense of talent. Players like Nick Woltemade, Fisnik Asllani and Paul Wanner developed positively under his influence.

Internally, too, the successful manager seems to have confidence in making the move to BVB – despite a lack of experience on the big international stage. His strengths lie particularly in scouting and the development of young players, an area that Dortmund wants to emphasize more in the future.
Book also fits the profile personally: The Beckum native is an avowed BVB fan and could easily fit into the existing management structure around Lars Ricken. If the move is finalized soon, Book could be directly involved in the planning of the summer transfer window.
