Vincent Wagner is currently shaking up the Bundesliga with SV Elversberg. In the top flight, there is another club he is rooting for: runner-up Borussia Dortmund.

Vincent Wagner has a dream club in the Bundesliga. The Elversberg head manager jokingly responded to a corresponding question in a Bild interview, noting he had to be careful about what he said. He then admitted that he has been a Borussia Dortmund fan since the 1995/1996 season.

The 40-year-old has been on the sideline at SV Elversberg for just over a year. There, Vincent Wagner continued the positive development of recent years and sensationally brought the Saarland club into the Bundesliga for the first time in the club's history.

However, Wagner is not currently eyeing the position at Borussia Dortmund. He stated that he currently lacks the imagination to stand on the sideline there, adding that he is happy at SV Elversberg and pleased to be able to work as a Bundesliga manager because he loves his job. The manager's contract with the promoted side runs until 2028.

Borussia Dortmund wants to extend with Niko Kovac

At Borussia Dortmund, Niko Kovac is firmly in the saddle. The 54-year-old is currently only bound to Borussia Dortmund until the end of the season. However, the club's officials, led by CEO Carsten Cramer, have repeatedly emphasized that they will discuss a contract extension with the head manager at the appropriate time.

First, though, Borussia Dortmund will likely focus on extending with sports director Lars Ricken, whose contract also expires in 2027.

Niko Kovac took over Borussia Dortmund in February 2025 when the Ruhr Valley club parted ways with Nuri Sahin. In his first 50 Bundesliga matches with the black and yellows, the former professional secured 33 victories and eight draws, setting a new club record. In the previous season, Kovac led Borussia to the runner-up finish, but the club exited the DFB-Pokal in the round of 16 and the UEFA Champions League in the playoffs earlier than hoped.
