Meanwhile, Dortmund topped Group F under Lucien Favre but the Swedish manager was sacked in December following a poor run of results in the league. The Black and Yellows are currently in sixth in the Bundesliga standings and will have to pull together a bunch of positive results between now and the end of the season to ensure UCL qualification for next season. On Monday, it was confirmed that Gladbach's Marco Rose will take charge of the club in the summer.
