New Borussia Dortmund coach Niko Kovac is confident the team has the quality to turn around this season.
Nuri Sahin was sacked on January 22 after four straight defeats.
However, caretaker manager Mike Tullberg has led the team to two wins and one draw in all competitions, and Kovac believes the team still has plenty of quality.
“The positive thing is that in the last three games you can see the team has the necessary quality. For me, this is a very good team,” Kovac said to แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ.
Kovac’s first game in charge of BVB comes this Saturday, with Stuttgart the visitors to the Westfalenstadion in the Bundesliga, and he is aiming to build on the club’s recent results.
“What has been positive is the last three games. You can see that the team has the necessary qualities. For me, the team is really good,” Kovac told a press conference.
“There is a lot that has to do with self-confidence. Yes, there was a phase recently where things did not go well, but the last three games were great.
“Mike really did it well, and we all thank him for that. The players have seen how sweet it is to win,” Kovac added on their matches under Tullberg.
“Wins are the ones that lift your confidence. You need that as a player and what was is no longer important. What is and what will be is the most important thing.
“We are in 11th place, and we next have a big game at home against Stuttgart.
“We want to win it to take that next step forward. To bring Dortmund back where they belong, which is the top.”
“There is a lot to do about self-confidence. Yes, there were times when things didn’t go the way they should, but the last three games have been excellent.
“Mike has done a really good job and we all thank him for that.”
