Zorc stays a year longer
Kehl ended his professional career in 2015 and three years later took over the newly created position as head of the licensed players department at BVB.
Originally, Zorc wanted to vacate his post on June 30, 2021 after 23 years as BVB sports director.
But at Watzke's request, he will remain in office for one season longer in view of the great challenges that have arisen in the corona pandemic.
