Borussia Dortmund direrctor refutes 'crazy' rift reports

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has dismissed the notion there is unrest behind the scenes due to the board's aim to win the Bundesliga.

Dortmund led the table for much of last season but fell short in the final weeks of the campaign, while their 2019-20 hopes were dealt an early blow by a shock 3-1 defeat at Union Berlin before the international break.

It was subsequently reported there were issues between the board and coach Lucien Favre after he suggested defending champions Bayern Munich were favourites for the title again.
