Borussia Dortmund presented new head coach Peter Bosz on Tuesday to succeed the sacked Thomas Tuchel.

The German Cup winners said the Dutchman would be joining them from Ajax Amsterdam on a two-year deal.

Dortmund, who finished third in the Bundesliga and will compete in next season’s Champions League group stage, sacked Tuchel three days after winning the German Cup on May 27.

Tuchel had a public row with club bosses over playing a Champions League game the day after a bomb attack on the team bus in April.

Bosz, a 53-year-old former Dutch international, steered Ajax to the Europa League final this season where they lost to Manchester United and was expected to stay on before his sudden move to Germany.

His move came as a surprise for Dutch fans with local media reporting a difference of opinion between Bosz and his assistant and other Ajax coaching staff.

He enjoys playing a similar attacking football popular in Dortmund and finished second in the top tier of the Dutch league in his first and only season at Ajax.
