‘Totally insane what’s happening here, absurd!’

Rob Jansen is completely surprised by Borussia Dortmund’s choice to appoint Sven Mislintat as director of football affairs. Earlier on Tuesday, journalist Florian Plettenberg from the German branch Sky Sports It is known that negotiations between Mislintat and Dortmund are in the final phase. “Totally insane,” Jansen says in the podcast on Tuesday KieftJansenEgmondGijp.

“I still had to think about it, and that is the great thing about football…,” Michel van Egmond begins in the podcast. “I now read that Mislintat, who has proven to have ruined Ajax in three months and who is still under investigation, will sign with Borussia Dortmund!”

“In that news I also saw a quote from a Dortmund director who says: ‘We hope to sign him as soon as possible.’ It’s bizarre. That’s how it goes in football. You blunder, you wait a while and you can start again.”

“Now you will soon also find that, through luck, he does make a good purchase that is successful, then suddenly no one is talking about Ajax anymore. In Germany, no one talks about it anymore,” says Van Egmond.

Jansen also finds it incomprehensible that Mislintat is taking over as director of football affairs. “This is very extreme. Of course he comes from there and they look at him differently, but in the international football world it is completely insane what is happening here.”

“This is just completely absurd. There is something really wrong with the Dortmund board,” Jansen concludes. René van der Gijp joins his table companions. “Really bizarre.”

The former director of football affairs of Ajax should be the new technical director of those Boruses become. Mislintat will sign a long-term contract with the Germans in the short term.
