What to do? Jürgen Klopp to find the answer
What a crash! D uring the winter break, Borussia Dortmund has five weeks freeze deep in the cellar table, the relegation zone. In such a difficult, according to away games as in Bremen seemingly hopeless situation any other club would be released every other coach probably. In Dortmund, this means not part of the instruments of crisis management. Jürgen Klopp to stay. The Supervisory Board has not raised any concerns on Sunday.
More about
With a team that was accustomed to hunt Bayern, so deep to fall, is unique. Ten defeats in seventeen league games, only four away points, a not to be overlooked loss of resilience make it clear: Klopp, who was for many years as almost infallible, shrunk to normal levels of a Bundesliga team. His charisma is still to the fore, but his words, his speeches, his motivation move mountains more.
No blaming Klopp
Dwindling forces and many injuries could perhaps explain the case of second place at number six or seven, but not as an unmitigated fall. There is something rotten in the state of Dortmund, and the men in the boardroom pretend to know what it is. But they say it is not (publicly). With Klopp has apparently doing nothing, or at least has to blame him not to.
Why do CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke and sporting director Michael Zorc this way and without the customary activism? Sure gratitude plays a role, the ratio between Watzke and Klopp, which connects more than collegiality. And with the titles and triumphs Klopp has created a virtual carte blanche in Dortmund.

Klopp knows the DNA
But former merits alone can not protect life coach. There are solid reasons for his whereabouts, although his crisis management until the winter break hardly worked. On the one Klopp created the team, not at some point over and a bit further developed. The team with all its strengths and weaknesses now is his work. Many players owe it Klopp, at an incredible, if not to have co-written endless success story.
Klopp knows the DNA of this team. That should give him even in the most difficult crisis of his career an advantage that a new coach would not. In addition, it would be difficult to find under time pressure a football coach that fits in the balance of power on the one hand and on the other team.

Hope for the Future
The third reason, in the future. Assuming that Dortmund prevent the descent (which would be the least), it is likely to be massive changes. Some players would probably leave the club with a view to the personal interests, Dortmund standing in front of a new beginning. Then Klopp was back in his element. Then he would be called back to do what he might do best: Something new build something great, exceeding expectations. To try this, a lot of courage is required.
There is actually not much to admire at Borussia. But one thing is admirable: the courage to go the other, its own way – with Jürgen Klopp as head coach
