Dortmund sack Lucien Favre

Steilcast - A show about the Bundesliga & German football

It's the episode we've been waiting for all year! The Athletic's Raphael Honigstein is joined by Steilcast regular Christoph Biermann and The Yellow Wall Pod's Lars Pollman to react to what felt like the inevitable sacking of Dortmund head coach Lucien Favre following a 5-1 defeat to Stuttgart on Saturday.

They discuss what went wrong for Lucien and why the players had publicly turned, and there's also a look at the possible contenders to replace him with Gladbach's Marco Rose the front-runner, but perhaps we can't rule out Mauricio Pochettino just yet?

We also roundup the rest of the Bundesliga action after a weekend that saw Leverkusen go top after Bayern could only draw with Union Berlin
