Hide AdWagner, reserve team coach at German giants under Jurgen Klopp before moving to Huddersfield in 2015, said today: “It was a very poor moment for all of us. After we have had more information, we can feel very lucky that more did not happen.
“What happened was unbelievable enough. I know a lot of the people who were on this bus personally and, unfortunately, this is a big theme at the minute in our football business.
“I texted a few people from Dortmund I know and I am happy they are as okay as you can be after such an experience.
“It shows us again how irrelevant all the things are that we are doing, in terms of when you see what can happen in this crazy world at times.
