It's been a tough old season for fans of Borussia Dortmund. Sure, the club may finish the campaign with the DFB-Pokal trophy to go alongside Europa League qualification, but by and large, it has been a year to forget for Jurgen Klopp and his side.
Yet as the favoured coach steps aside for Thomas Tuchel this summer, fans will undoubtedly return to the Westfalenstadion for pre-season friendlies with a renewed sense of hope. Football fans may well be fickle, but they also have a boundless enthusiasm for the joys that may lie just around the corner.
