Niko Kovac’s contract at Borussia Dortmund has been extended by one season until 2027, according to a statement released on Tuesday.
In January 2025, Kovac, a former manager of Bayern Munich, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Monaco, signed an 18-month deal with the club and became the 11th position manager.
Kovac helped bring Dortmund’s season to a close with 22 of a possible 24 points and place in fourth place, the final Champions League spot, despite dropping as low as 13th.
We want to help Borussia Dortmund regain its former strength, Kovac stated in a statement.
“We still have a lot to do together,” he said.

Sebastian Kehl, the Dortmund sports director, said Kovac “appreaches every game with conviction, intensity, and passion,” adding that “we believe together we can continue the successful path of last season’s final spurt.”
Kovac, who was first regarded as a disciplinarian with a focus on fitness and work-rate, won the German Cup as Frankfurt manager in 2018.
Before being given his marching orders the following year, Kovac won the double in 2018 and 2018 before moving to Bayern.
The Berlin-born Kovac played for Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, and Hamburg as a player, scoring 14 goals and playing for Croatia 83 times.
In the final five minutes of the season, Dortmund were held to a disappointing 3-3 draw at St. Pauli, where they each conceded two goals and were reduced to 10 men.
