In the forthcoming clash between PSV Eindhoven and Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, all eyes will be on PSV's head coach, Peter Bosz, as he confronts a pivotal chapter from his past.
Bosz, the Dutch tactician, departed Ajax in 2017 to lead Dortmund but endured a turbulent tenure, lasting merely six months amidst a string of disappointing results in Europe's premier club competition. Now at the helm of PSV, Bosz finds himself in a position of redemption, steering his team through an exceptional run in the Eredivisie, topping the table and undefeated since the season's commencement.
As they gear up to face Dortmund, PSV aims to overturn historical precedents, having previously encountered the German giants in the 2002/03 first group stage with mixed results. On the other side, Borussia Dortmund, under the guidance of Edin Terzić, seeks to capitalize on the return of Jadon Sancho, loaned from Manchester United, as they aspire for another memorable journey through the latter stages of the Champions League.
