Michael Zorc has extended his contract as Borussia Dortmund sporting director, the club have announced.

Zorc's deal was due to expire in 2021, but he has now penned an extension until 2022.

"We're facing a period that will present significant challenges. It goes without saying that, during such a phase, I will stand by my club and make my contribution as we strive to put Borussia Dortmund on the best-possible footing together," said Zorc in a statement.

Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said:

"A few weeks ago, I made a personal request to Michael Zorc to stay with us for an extra year. We at BVB are all happy and thankful that he has complied with our request. Michael is a true Borusse and, as such, he was prepared to continue overseeing sporting matters at a time that is challenging for us all, and during which it is difficult to plan and tough to predict developments. This continuity will do us good."
