Zorc not expecting Dortmund title tilt

Champions League qualification is the sole objective for Borussia Dortmund this season, says sporting director Michael Zorc.

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc is not expecting the club to challenge for the Bundesliga title this season.

Bayern Munich has dominated the German top flight in recent years, topping the table for four successive seasons.

Dortmund has lost Mats Hummels to the Bavarian giant, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Ilkay Gundogan have moved to Manchester United and Manchester City, respectively.

Andre Schurrle and Mario Gotze have been the headline arrivals at Signal Iduna Park, but Zorc is not expecting Dortmund to push Bayern, which beat Thomas Tuchel's side in the DFL-Super Cup on Sunday, for the title.
