Dortmund coach in danger of being sacked
Berlin, Nov 19 (IANS) Borussia Dortmund’s Dutch coach Peter Bosz has to fight for his job in two crucial games this week.
According to several media reports, the 53-year-old needs to deliver satisfactory results against English Premier League (EPL) side Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday and in the derby against national rival Schalke 04 next Saturday to secure his job, reports Xinhua news agency.
After only one point gained out of the last five Bundesliga games and the Blacks and Yellows expected to exit the Champions League as early as after the group stage, the club leaders’ patience seems to come to an end.
CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke and Sports Director Michael Zorc consider giving the former Ajax Amsterdam coach the sack, the Berlin-based tabloid Bild and the Essen-based newspaper Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung report.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
