OFFICIAL: Dortmund appoint Lucien Favre as their new manager on a two-year deal

  /  XLD

Borussia Dortmund have announced Lucien Favre as their new manager.

The Swiss replaces Peter Stoger who was only appointed on a six-month contract last December.

But he has retired and former Nice boss Favre installed in his place.

His move paves the way for Patrick Vieira to take over at the south of France club in what will be his first management job in Europe.

Favre has also managed four clubs in his homeland as well as Hertha Berlin and Borussia Monchengladbach in Germany.
