Dortmund really performed well, more than my expectations. I didn't think from the beginning that Dortmund would make it to the final due to their domestic league performance, which was not too good. Even in the final match, it is just that Real Madrid have a more experienced Champions League squad. If not for that, with the way Dortmund played that final match, they deserved to win. They really missed some clean chances that should have been goals. But despite not winning the Champions League, reaching the final is a very good record.

Edin Terzic's resignation is not something good for Dortmund because finding a good coach nowadays is not really easy. I don't know the reason why Edin Terzic resigned, but he may have his own personal reasons which are not out in the media.

Given that Dortmund wasn't exactly smashing it in their own league, reaching the UCL final is an freaking ffeat. Gotta hand it to them, they overdelivered big time. But come on, Real Madrid is totally different. The unchallenged kings of Europe wouldn't allow a scrappy underdog take their crown

Now, about Terzic stepping down… you never know the real story. Perhaps he feels the squad has reached its limit, perhaps he burned out, perhaps he has a great offer elsewhere. Whatever it is, Dortmund suffers; yet, it's hardly the end of the world. They will pick a new coach, reorganise, and return swinging

After 13 years wearing the black and yellow uniform, Matt Hummels will part ways with Dortmund this summer and he will leave as a free agent. It's sad to see that his loyalty with Dortmund has ended and he has gone as a club legend. Even though he went back and forth from Dortmund to Bayern Munich and back again to Dortmund, he still became an important part of Dortmund. I didn't expect one of the best center backs of this generation to be gone.

But it is true that he is already 35 years old and therefore regeneration is really needed for the Dortmund squad. Maybe after this Dortmund will immediately look for a replacement in the summer and I hope they make the right recruitment for their new center back candidate. It's a shame that at the end of his career with Dortmund he appeared impressive, especially when he was able to take Dortmund to the Champions League final and in my opinion, defenders of his age are very rarely consistent.

That's some hard decision taken by the lad, and if it's what's best for him, then so be it. Rejecting to move out after all of the opportunities of joining one of the top dogs in the Premier League Competition.
Manchester United I would say has to be speculated, Arsenal really needed someone to compete with Gabriel Jesus. Chelsea? Lol, God in heaven knows there's no way they'll do well with Nicolas Jackson all alone next season. I'm still hoping they have a change of mind to ask for Victor Oshime even though on loan.

The current top club in La Liga needing a new striker would be Atletico Madrid and there's no news, not even speculations linking him to that club.

That Borrussia Dortmund from last season did well in the Champions League Competition, this is a move I never expected. Goodluck to him whenever he goes nevertheless.

Vincent Kompany has a very tough task, he must be able to build Bayern Munich stronger than before and beat its strong rivals in the race for the Bundesliga title. He will do whatever it takes to bring Bayern Munich back to dominating the Bundesliga. I think he will think of new names to fill the starting 11 Bayern Munich next season will be filled with mainstay players from strong rivals in the Bundesliga because Bayern Munich always weakens its opponents by recruiting mainstay players from other clubs who are trying to match Bayern Munich's level in the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich even almost appointed Leverkusen's coach but unfortunately this coach chose to stay.

Because Bayern Munich failed to bring Xabi Alonso to the Allianz Arena, I think Bayern Munich is targeting Leverkusen players and this will be a difficult choice for the players to choose to stay or move to a bigger club and I hope these players remain loyal to their club at this time. This is despite being given a higher offer from Bayern Munich because after all these players have worked together for quite a long time to achieve all this and if they survive then the competition between the two will still be quite fierce in the title race.

Sesko decided to stay with the club even longer because he understands that he is not yet ready to compete for a spot in the primary starting lineup. Many clubs offered him greater salaries, but Sesko preferred to stay even longer with RB Leipzig. It means he does not want to play in a new league at this time.
It suggests sesko's not ready yet. Many teams changed their targets following Sesko. It's a really disappointing result as many clubs tried to sign him, but Sesko opted to do a U-turn for this.

That is completely unacceptable, especially given that numerous teams have identified him as a significant target and he missed golden opportunity to go to a better club. I hope those teams can find a good substitute for Sesko. Chelsea is now turning to Jhon Duran from Aston Villa to replace him.
Sesko is a talented player and it would be preferable for him to leave Leipzig and join a bigger team, sesko should take a look at what bellingham has done. Bellingham has demonstrated that playing for a top club will help him develop his skills significantly.

Sesko doesn't appear to be contemplating it twice. Sesko was rushing to sign a new contract with Leipzig and he was impatient. It's really disappointme to see that.
I was hoping him to go to the english premier league.

Agreed, Probably the main reason why Benjamin Šeško has decided to stay is because he knows that he is going to get a good amount of playtime here which he might not if he does move to a bigger club. And getting a good amount of playtime is very essential for the development of his career. Especially at this stage when Benjamin starting to show really good performance. So this is definitely a smart decision by him that he has decided to stay. For another reason this might be a very good decision because there is a chance he will be able to perform really well with RB Leipzig, this is the team he has performed well with in this season. So it will be a known environment for Benjamin. He will not have any tension of getting used to a new environment. That will probably enable him to perform well again.

Now Terzic must really give his focus to what he can do because looking at some of the conditions that are happening now we can see that Terzic is actually coaching very well, it's just that he can't do several competitions at once which makes it a little difficult for them to secure performance.

2 Last season they focused on the Bundesliga and the results were actually good but the end of the game was not in their favor and this season they focused on the Champions League although there are many people who say it was their luck in the final but I don't consider it luck because they did very well so this needs to be appreciated.

Next season Terzic must know that they can still compete just that they must try to focus on one of the competitions only for the results to come in.

A long story happened there and it all started when Humels began to question the correctness of Terzic’s chosen strategy. Thus, he had a negative influence on Terzic’s authority in the division, and as a result, some of the players supported Humels. There was also a big conflict immediately before the Champions League final, as a result Terzic was forced to decide to leave the team, since it was difficult to continue working in such conditions. And Humels will leave the team due to dismissal, since Dortmund considered such behavior on the part of the player unacceptable. Thus, the team will not have an easy task finding a new coach.

I'm not underestimating Dortmund, but I'm pessimistic about them if they challenge for the Bundesliga title because we can see in the last few seasons that the Dortmund team doesn't seem to be seriously built for that.
Bayern Munich will of course rise again to win the title, their failure last season is a lesson to be better next season and it must be admitted that next season the competition will be much fiercer and Bayern's dominance has been interrupted by several teams. which has started to rise, especially Leverkusen, especially Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso has decided to stay, which means it is very likely that their performance will improve even more next season.

From what I heard Terzic was not fired by the Dortmund management. He left Dortmund of his own accord. Maybe Terzic is eager to take on a new challenge. He was with the Dortmund squad for a long time. With the help of Terzic, Dortmund's overall performance was also quite stable.

However, we still don't know who Dortmund will appoint as their new coach. I would say Dortmund are not like other clubs in Europe. I see this team's desire to win the title is very low. Dortmund management's main interest is to find talented players, and sell them at high prices to make large amounts of profit. That's what we've been seeing for the last few seasons. So the Dortmund management will hire a coach who can spot young talented players.

Dortmund management will not hire experienced coaches like Mourinho and Tuchel. I think the Dortmund management will appoint Nuri Şahin as their head coach. But nothing can be said for sure about it yet.

I was afraid of this possibility and really happened.    I was never expecting Dortmund to sack him after carrying the team to the Champions League finale. But I wasn't expecting Terzic to leave by his own decision either. Of course I respect the decision. In the end just like he said, he has served the team for so many years in addition to his management period.

When it comes to who their next manager would be, I think Nuri Şahin or Roger Schmidt should be considered. Nuri Şahin spent so many of his years at Dortmund as a footballer and he has been assistant manager for six months as well.

Roger Schmidt managed Leverkusen in the Bundesliga before and his first two seasons were decent. Apart from that he has a decent career with titles at different teams in different leagues too.

IMO, Dortmund will not be on the list for the Bundesliga title in the next season because Edin Terzic departure will have a big impact on Dortmund performance and on the one hand, I actually choose Stuttgart who will be the next challenger because we all know that Stuttgart still has Guirassy who is very reliable to continue to get points in every match even though it seems strange to say that Stuttgart will be a competitor to Bayern Munich and Leverkusen but in fact after the arrival of Guirassy, Stuttgart had success finishing in second place displacing Bayern Munich.

and regarding the tougher competition that Leverkusen will face, it might be a bit tough because the first time Xabi brought Leverkusen to the UCL, they were competing with other big teams, while Leverkusen performance in the bundesliga also had to be maintained because they had to be able to win the bundesliga title again.
Leverkusen in the next season is unlikely to achieve new achievements like last season which was undefeated and next season it looks like Leverkusen will have to experience even more defeats in the bundesliga because the UCL will definitely be more of a priority.

Well, I want that competition to happen, and I even hope that there will be another surprise team that can provide very tight competition at the top of the standings to fight for the title next season. The reason is that the more teams that join the title race, the more interesting the league will be. Leverkusen holds the status of defending champion, they must defend the title they achieved this season. This is not something easy, because other teams have also noticed their strengths and are ready to tackle their journey next season.

Bayern Munich and their new coach are expected to perform even better. Borussia Dortmund, whose coach has just left, must move quickly to appoint a coach who will handle them next season. Leipzig, which we usually see providing tough competition at the top, is expected to improve their performance. And also Stuttgart, which has performed well this season, is expected to be able to maintain and improve again.

If it just about payment or purchase price then I sure Bayern Munich will be able to fulfill all of that in order to get the player because Jonathan is also very important player for Leverkusen and has made big contribution to Leverkusen success this season.
But there are many reasons for Leverkusen to be able to keep Jonathan for longer, next season Leverkusen will have several big competitions and they need Jonathan, just imagine what if he leaves then Leverkusen will feel the impact.
But on the other hand, Jonathan is also being targeted by team other and if in the future Leverkusen decides to release Jonathan then it is clearly possible that competition in the race and beating each other bid prices could occur.

What is clear is that Leverkusen will not be too hasty in making decision regarding Jonathan release at the end of this season, but for next season, perhaps Jonathan will really leave.
There are still many opportunities for Leverkusen to achieve success next season and of course they will not make careless decisions at the end of this season in order to maintain the stability of their performance.

Bayern Munich is not alone in challenging defending champions Leverkusen next season, because Dortmund is also building new foundations after Edin Terzig resigned from his post. The competition becomes more competitive if Stuttgart and Leipzig are directly involved in the hunt for trophies, and these five clubs will be faced with another challenge, namely playing in the Champions League. Their journey will clearly not be easy, even for Leverkusen, because they all need a balance of performance in every competition. Meanwhile, it is not yet known who will be the next Dortmund manager, but in my opinion we should give it a chance even though the next successor lacks experience like Vincent Kompany at Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich have a really big job to do next season and it's seem their fate is dwindling as the new coach is someone with less experience about the job, I don't know but it seems Bayern Munich has something to prove next season as their league is getting hotter by the day and next season will even be more because the competition will be really fierce among these teams as Dortmund too is getting geared up for the new season.

Dortmund played very well in the first half of the match, but they lost focus in the second half of the match. However, I agree that they were playing quite well although they must be defeated by Real Madrid. Everyone can understand it because Real Madrid has a better quality of the players, meanwhile Dortmund just played with mostly unpopular players.

I'm still surprised that Edin Terzic should leave Dortmund because Dortmund performed quite well although they won 0 trophy. I think Edin Terzic has done a good job with Dortmund, the can keep Dortmund in the top 5 in Bundesliga and still can play in UCL in the next season. Although he failed to win UCL trophy, he can try again. If Edin Terzic stays, Dortmund won't be so difficult to improve the squad because Edin Terzic knows well Dortmund players. But since he decided to leave, Dortmund needs to hire a new coach. Sure, this will being a direct impact, no guarantee a new coach can fit with the players. I even doubt Dortmund can't reach the semi-final of UCL and may end up the season out of top 5 next season. It is very unfortunate to see him leaving the team.

I was also surprised and disappointed by Terzic's resignation from Dortmund because I know Terzic is a true Dortmund fan. Maybe he feels like he's gone as far as he can, or maybe it's true that he wants to find a new challenge. Sometimes in my opinion, an ordinary coach can shine when in charge of Dortmund, an EPL club may need to occasionally take a coach from a German club, because usually German coaches always make things easy for their players. I hope Terzic will coach an EPL team, and Dormund also get a better replacement.

Even though Dortmund did not perform well this season in the Bundesliga after finishing in fifth place. However, Dortmund actually managed to reach the UCL league final even though they were defeated by Real Madrid in the final. However, for me, Edin Terzic has not failed in coaching Dortmund because he has represented the German team playing in the UCL league and made the Bundesliga have five UCL league slots for next season.

Bayern Munich will want to get back what they lost last season,which is the tittle,as well as Dortmund who came close to winning it last year before Bayern  came to snatch everything.From the beginning of this season,Bayern had already known what was their major problem last season,and they  are trying  to sought it out.They have identified the weak positions in the team and try to improve.They need to do this before they would  go out for preseason.
As for Leverkusen,I know even if they would fall,it won't be like they would fall from up to bottom of the table,They would still be either at third position or second position.
