Borussia Dortmund confirms it has extended head coach Niko Kovac’s contract until the summer of 2029. Multiple outlets report the decision is made ahead of schedule, with the new deal taking the coach beyond the point when his previous contract was due to end.
The reports note Kovac, 54, remains in charge as the club continues with its current coaching setup. Yahoo Sports adds details about the timing of the extension and reiterates that Dortmund’s board extends the partnership following an official club announcement. Coverage does not indicate the length of any specific performance-related clauses or changes to the rest of the coaching staff, though one report references Kovac working with his assistants.
Overall, outlets align on the core facts: Dortmund has made the extension official, it runs through 2029, and it keeps Kovac leading the first team beyond the original contract expiry.
