Dortmund (AP) - Sven Mislintat does not rule out a return to his ex-club Borussia Dortmund.
So far, according to the sports director of the Bundesliga soccer club VfB Stuttgart, there have been no talks with those responsible for BVB.
A specific date for a meeting in March has not yet been agreed, the 48-year-old said on Sunday.
"There is no fixed date and it has not yet been spoken," said Mislintat.
«I am a native of Dortmund.
That means, if there is an interest, then that is nothing that leaves me indifferent, but then I am happy about the appreciation. "
But first of all, BVB itself has to know what it wants.
The “Ruhr Nachrichten” had previously reported that Borussia was considering a return of its former squad planner in the summer of 2022.
In March there should be a meeting between club boss Hans-Joachim Watzke and the former BVB scout.
Mislintat is said to be an option to succeed manager Michael Zorc, who is leaving in 2022.
Mislintat does not rule out staying with VfB, where he is under contract until June 30, 2023.
"I didn't say: If Dortmund comes, I'll go," he said.
“VfB, this team, this city, this group are very important to me.
Even if Dortmund came, they would have to have some damn good arguments first. "

He does not have a “classic exit clause” for 2022 in his contract.
But: "Originally there is a certain amount of room for maneuver for me in the summer of 2022, because even in this club you sometimes get the feeling that it's not always about football."
He was referring to the power struggle at VfB, most recently numerous Stuttgart officials resigned or been recalled from the club.
“We haven't talked enough about football lately and that's what we have to focus on.
And then it's very easy for me to stay here for a very long time. "
