Borussia Dortmund’s season has barely started, and already chaos is brewing. Saturday’s 3-3 draw against St. Pauli ended with fireworks – not on the pitch, but in the tunnel.
Coach Niko Kovac stunned fans by subbing off 19-year-old Jobe Bellingham at half-time. The decision didn’t just shock the crowd – it sent the player’s family into meltdown. According to The Times, Jobe’s father, Mark Bellingham, barged into the restricted dressing-room area to confront the club’s hierarchy.
What followed was a heated showdown with Dortmund bosses. Sporting director Sebastian Kehl quickly shut it down: “The dressing-room area is for players, coaches, and staff – not families or agents. This won’t happen again.”
Tensions are running high around Jude’s little brother, and instead of a calm start to the campaign, Dortmund find themselves embroiled in Bellingham family drama.
