Niko Kovač meets BVB for coaching vacancy

Croatian manager Niko Kovač remains the leading candidate to replace Nuri Sahin as BVB manager. Borussia Dortmund directors flew to Salzburg this Monday for a secret meeting with Kovač to analyze the nuances of a possible deal. BVB wants to sign Kovač in a short-term deal until the end of the current season.

However, that does not appear to be the former Bayern Münich and Frankfurt boss. According to Patrick Berger, a meeting took place already on the weekend, during which Kovač denied the possibility of a short-term contract to play a "fireman" role until the summer.

As Berger reported, if Borussia Dortmund cannot strike a deal with Kovač, Mike Tullberg might be the first-team interim coach until the end of the season.
