Official: BVB bring club legend Reus back | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund brings Marco Reus back in a new role. The active career of the club legend could even continue longer in the USA.

Marco Reus remains connected to Borussia Dortmund even after his departure – and in multiple ways. While the 36-year-old continues his career in the USA with Los Angeles Galaxy, BVB has now officially appointed him as a club ambassador. Reus will represent the club at various events, as confirmed by the club around the Champions League match against Bodø/Glimt (2:2).

The evening was particularly special for Reus. For the first time since his move to the MLS in the summer of 2024, he was back in front of the camera in Germany – as an expert for DAZN. Returning to the place where he played and made history for twelve years left a mark on him. “That was and still is my life,” Reus said emotionally about his time in Dortmund. Especially the end of his BVB era shaped him: “Above all, the last game was incredible. You don't forget something like that.”

Sportingly, things are still going well for the offensive player. In Los Angeles, Reus has impressive numbers in his debut season – and Galaxy is apparently even considering a longer collaboration: Club chief Tom Braun recently hinted to Ruhr Nachrichten that a contract extension is quite possible.

Marco Reus becomes BVB ambassador

Sports director Sebastian Kehl also expressed his admiration for the fitness of the BVB icon and stated that Dortmund has “always been his home” for Reus. He also mentioned that the veteran could “still play, as he looks.”

Reus himself is not thinking about stopping. “I still have a real, real passion for football,” he said on DAZN. He wants to play “until my feet say: ‘Okay, that's enough.’” So far in the MLS, he has achieved 21 appearances, five goals, eight assists, and four additional goal involvements in the cup – crowned by winning the championship last year.

Despite his ongoing contract until 2026, Reus is taking on his new role as a BVB ambassador immediately. A role that underscores his close connection to the Black and Yellow – and one that is sure to delight fans in Dortmund.
