Hamburg sign Nicolai Remberg
Hamburg have announced the signing of Nicolai Remberg from Holstein Kiel after activating the player's reported €2.5m release clause. The 24-year-old joins the Bundesliga returnees as the club's first signing of the summer.

Remberg played 32 Bundesliga games for Holstein Kiel last season but was unable to prevent the club's relegation back into the second division following their maiden top-flight campaign. Nevertheless, the 24-year-old was a standout performer and will add an engine room to Hamburg's midfield. 'I want to bring my strengths to the team, show my physical presence, and win as many battles as I can out on the pitch,' said Remberg. 'It's a real honour to wear the HSV shirt. In my conversations with the club's management, it became clear what kind of role I can take on here and the journey we want to go on – both as a team and personally. I'm excited and ready for what's ahead!' GGFN | Daniel Pinder

Dortmund's Kovač stays grounded despite 'sensational' top-four finish
Dortmund coach Niko Kovac gestures on the touchline during the German Bundesliga soccer match between Borussia Dortmund and Holstein Kiel at Signal Iduna Park. Bernd Thissen/dpa Borussia Dortmund coach Niko Kovač was ecstatic to reach the Champions League after a late burst in the Bundesliga, but said the party should be mooted given it was the minimum target for the club. Dortmund were 11th when the Croatian took over in January following the sacking of Nuro Şahin. Advertisement After a shaky few weeks, the well-known disciplinarian oversaw a remarkable resurgence as the Black and Yellows won their last five league games to pip Freiburg and reach the Champions League for a 10th straight season. Saturday's 3-0 win over relegated Holstein Kiel summed up the calmness and ruthlessness which Kovač, previously sacked by Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg, has managed to instil. "What we have done is sensational in the last few weeks," he told Sky. "We had to make it clear what we wanted in games. The lads didn't have that at the start. "I know the quality that top players have. I had to make sure they had positive thoughts. Advertisement "But we shouldn't overly celebrate, we have finished only fourth, which was the minimum expectation." Fans were not impressed when he was drafted in by the Champions League runners-up given his Bayern connection and failure at Wolfsburg. But he has proved the sceptics wrong and was hailed by managing director Lars Ricken for one of the greatest achievements by a Dortmund coach. "It is always nice when you get praise. Alone I wouldn't have managed it," he added, saluting staff, players and the fans. He also thanked his daughter, who told him to keep wearing the same jumper for good luck. "My daughter said never change a winning system," he said.
