If Dortmund keeps Dembele for life, it would be kind of weird to see a 70-year old Frenchman hobbling down the sideline.

As far as having a better defending system, that will all depend if Tuchel decides to pick either a four-back or a three-back. Which, as we have seen this year, most likely won’t happen as he likes to go week-to-week. If Dortmund brings in a new manager, then we could see an overhaul of the defensive scheme.

Keeping players fit isn’t an easy thing to do when your most of your roster is unavailable to play. This past year, it seemed that almost every Dortmund player had some injury stint. When that happens, it is hard to keep players fit, especially when you have multiple matches a week.
