Henrikh Mkhitaryan explains why he stayed in Borussia Dortmund
Henrikh Mkhitaryan, the current midfielder for German club Borussia Dortmund and captain of the Armenia national team, has explained why he decided to stay in Borussia Dortmund. “I met chief coach of Borussia Dortmund Thomas Tuchel for the first time in March and he convinced me to stay,” Mkhitaryan told Deutsche Welle. ““I wanted to stay also, because I had some things to prove to the people, to show that I deserve to be here. That's why I am trying to stay this year also, to show all my qualities in helping the team to win a lot of games.” The Armenian international believes that Thomas Tuchel will be able to convince him to stay at Borussia Dortmund beyond the end of the season. The 27-year-old has been one of the standout stars of Dortmund’s season so far with six goals and eight assists in 16 Bundesliga appearances.
