Reinhold Lunow to step down as president in November | OneFootball

“In recent weeks, my team and I have been working intensively to ensure the ongoing development of BVB in the interests of its members. The active participation of members, the consideration of fan interests and the strict adherence to the BVB code of values were particularly important to me. Borussia Dortmund must not lose its identity in times of change. This includes maintaining our values and traditions, as well as unconditional solidarity within the Borussia family.

In order to secure these objectives, I initially felt that it was necessary to run for re-election. In detailed discussions with Hans-Joachim Watzke, who has expressed an interest in the presidency, I received his promise that he would take the above points into account if he were elected club president. On the basis of this pledge, I feel confident that my concerns will be addressed and can hand over my duties with a clear conscience.

I wish the new BVB Executive Committee every success in the future.”
