Marco Reus to Depart Borussia Dortmund

A Legendary Career Comes to an End

Three DFL-Supercups, Two DFB-Pokals, and the Captain's Armband

In an emotional video message to fans, Marco Reus has announced his departure from Borussia Dortmund after 11 seasons with the club. The 34-year-old German international has been an integral part of Dortmund's success in recent years, winning three DFL-Supercups (2013, 2014, and 2019), two DFB-Pokals (2017 and 2021), and serving as club captain from 2018 until 2023. Reus's departure marks the end of an era for Dortmund and a significant loss for the Bundesliga.

A Career Highlighted by Triumphs and Setbacks

Reus's career with Dortmund has been a rollercoaster of emotions. He has enjoyed some of the highest highs, including winning the Bundesliga title in 2011-12 and 2012-13 and being named the Bundesliga Player of the Year in 2011-12. However, he has also endured some of the lowest lows, including suffering from numerous injuries that have limited his playing time.

A Fond Farewell from a True Legend

In his video message, Reus expressed his gratitude to Dortmund and the fans. He said, "I will never forget my time at Dortmund. I have experienced so many unforgettable moments here. I am proud of what we have achieved together and I will always be grateful for the support of the fans." Reus's departure is a sad day for Dortmund, but it is also an opportunity for them to start a new chapter. The club will undoubtedly miss Reus's leadership and passion, but they will also be looking to build on the foundations he has helped to establish.
