Dortmund would do well to analyze the post Klopp era.
No trainer matched Dortmund. A workers’ association also needs a coach who can work this feeling of football passionately and who demands everything from his players.
Neither Tuchel, nor Bosz, nor Favre could convey that.
A coach must also fit into the club and live the club. Klopp somehow always managed that and the hole he left behind could not be filled.
I don’t want to criticize Favre. He’s doing a good job, but not anymore. And only with more will you eventually become German champion again.

The thing is: you can’t replace Klopp. Not only because he is a guy, a guy who stands by his words, talks how he likes it and has shown “Malocherfussball” who was attractive and successful. Klopp and Dortmund fit together like Ar *** on buckets or fists on the eye. There is nobody in the German-speaking world comparable, a version inspired by catenaccio has only Atletico and a playful further development would slowly be necessary.
Barcelona could never really replace Pep, Inter, Porto and Chelsea did not replace Mourinho at the time, United and Arsenal are still looking for reasonably worthy heirs for Ferguson and Wenger, just as Bavaria has not been replaced by Heynckes des Triples, despite unusual coach names with star names.
In the end, every club has a constellation every x years that is so unique, harmoniously and casually soaked “with mutual love and respect” that no coach can have a fair chance to do this.
Sousa would not have been a bad name with proof of top league and a short but successful Dortmund past, I cannot describe his style because I only sporadically saw his Florence at that time. But neither he, nor Favre, no Tuchel and also no Bosz have or would not have had it easy in direct comparison with Jürgen. The bond is too big for that. If you had compared Alexander the Great with his father at the age of 10, you would also have labeled him failed or weak.
