This is a turning point in the history of Borussia Dortmund. The German club announced, via its X account, that its executive president Hans-Joachim Watzke would leave the ship in the fall of 2025, the end date of his contract. “The chairman of the board of directors of Borussia Dortmund, Hans-Joachim Watzke (64), will not extend his contract, which runs until the end of 2025, and will leave the board of directors in the autumn of the year next.”
