Dortmund CEO: I have a mutual trust relationship with Bellingham’s parents, everything has been clarified

August 26th News Dortmund CEO Ricken talked about the quarrel between sports director Kyle and Bellingham Jr.'s father in an interview.

In the last round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund drew 3-3 with Sao Paulo away. Bellingham Jr. was replaced early after halftime, which made his father Mark Bellingham feel dissatisfied and had a fight with Dortmund sports director Kyle in the player tunnel.

Ricken said: "We signed Bellingham Jr. because we have established a mutual trust relationship with his parents over the years. This time, their family flew here to watch their son's first Bundesliga game and wanted to meet Bellingham Jr. Then he had an emotional exchange with Kyle in the corridor of the locker room. However, considering the relationship between us, this will not cause any problem."

Ricken continued: "In the future, we will make sure that only players, coaches, and staff can enter the area near the locker room so that we will not be bothered by similar situations anymore. But everything has been clarified again, and there is no big problem."
