Borussia Dortmund head coach Niko Kovac has sparked outrage among fans and club management by stating he does not believe his team can challenge Bayern for the title in the 2026-27 season. The expert believes that the Munich club's financial resources and the level of stars in their squad are significantly superior to those of Borussia Dortmund. This is reported by Goal.com .
In an interview with WAZ, Kovac described himself as a realist rather than a coach who makes optimistic promises. He emphasized that the number of superstars in the Bayern squad and the club's power in the transfer market make competition in the Bundesliga almost impossible.
Although Borussia Dortmund recorded one of the best results in their history with 73 points this season, it was not enough to catch up with Bayern. Kovac admitted that despite having talented players like Serhou Guirassy and Yan Couto, achieving the consistency of Bayern is currently difficult.
This statement came as a cold shower for the fans at Signal Iduna Park. At a time when many were expecting a serious title challenge from the club, the head coach's candid admission has dampened confidence in the team's ambitions for the coming season.
