First in the VIP area of the stadium, the football pension of Michael Zorc and then Rose went with his family to the celebration of former physiotherapist Thomas Zetzmann, who left the club after the season.

Players like Julian Brandt, Mats Hummels, Marco Reus, Axel Witsel and also Sebastian Kehl were there. A lot was talked about at both parties. Marco Rose leaving Borussia Dortmund was not a topic at all.

Rose even spoke with other guests about his future plans with Borussia Dortmund. Even on the day after the party night, there was no sign that Marco Rose would be dismissed soon. The coach personally said goodbye to all players at the training ground.

At that point, the players were just as ignorant as Marco Rose about what was coming. In the end, Julian Brandt was so surprised by the dismissal that he thought the news had come from a satirical magazine.

On 19 May, the bosses met to analyse the season, including Matthias Sammer after the last matchday. At the preliminary meeting without Rose and in the evening with him. At the final meeting, only Sebastian Kehl is said to have protected him in the end.

Rose was criticised for, among other things, not developing the squad further, for the many injured players and the performance in the cup competitions. And so in the end the consequence was separation.

That very night, Marco Rose drove to his family in Leipzig and criticised the bosses for their lack of support.
