[caption id=“attachment_6840931” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Under Lucien Favre, Borussia Dortmund finished second in the Bundesliga in the 2018-19 season. Reuters[/caption] The Swiss coach took over last year, leading them to second place in the league behind Bayern Munich. Dortmund had a nine-point lead over the Bavarians midway through the season but had a disappointing start to 2019 and lost out to Bayern, who clinched their seventh straight league title on the final match day. “He met expectations 100 percent,” said club CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke in a statement. “It is only natural that we want to form the future together.” Dortmund also made the Champions League group stage, losing to eventual finalists Tottenham Hotspur in the last 16. The 61-year-old Favre joined Dortmund from French club Nice. He had previously coach Borussia Moenchengladbach and Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga.
