After Book, BVB apparently land another Elversberg boss | OneFootball

Following Ole Book, Borussia Dortmund could sign the next official from promoted side SV Elversberg. Another senior figure at the Saarland club now also appears to be on the verge of returning to BVB.

The restructuring of Borussia Dortmund’s sporting leadership is continuing to gather pace. After Ole Book was already appointed as the new sporting director, David Blacha could now also make the move from SV Elversberg to BVB. According to Sky, there is currently a lot to suggest that the 35-year-old will move to Dortmund.

Blacha is considered a close confidant of Book. The two most recently worked successfully together in Elversberg, where Blacha initially served as a scout and squad planner before taking over Book’s duties after his departure. Together, they played a key role in helping Elversberg achieve a sensational promotion to the Bundesliga.

For Blacha, it would also be a return home. The former professional comes from Wickede and already played for Borussia Dortmund in his youth. With the youth teams, he finished as German runner-up in 2007 and 2009. However, he never made the big breakthrough at professional level. Instead, his career took him to clubs such as Sandhausen, Rostock, Osnabrück and Wehen Wiesbaden. His time in Wiesbaden in particular still closely connects him with Book to this day. According to Sport Bild, Blacha is set to serve as the new BVB sporting director’s right-hand man in the future and be closely involved in scouting in particular.

After Book: BVB also want to bring in Blacha

Blacha did not yet want to comment specifically on his future. After the Bundesliga promotion, he told Sky: “This is not the time to talk about personal matters. We should all enjoy this today.” At the same time, he spoke highly of his work with Book: “It is the crowning moment of the whole story, an incredible journey.”

While a possible new arrival in the executive ranks is taking shape, a current Dortmund employee is apparently on his way out. As Sport Bild reports, Daniel Beiderbeck is no longer Head of Projects and Development at BVB. The former advisor to ex-sporting director Sebastian Kehl moved to Dortmund in 2022 and most recently belonged to his closest circle.

Even so, there are initially not expected to be major changes throughout the wider setup under Book. According to the report, the new sporting director does not want to “tear down functioning structures” and first wants to get an overview of the existing processes. With David Blacha, another man with a BVB background could soon take on an important role.
