Berlin: Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl has ended his tenure "by mutual consent", the club said in a statement released Sunday.
The surprise announcement, which sees Kehl leaving with immediate effect, comes amid rumours linking the former Dortmund player, who won three Bundesliga titles during a 13-year stint with the club, to the sporting director job at Hamburg.
Lars Ricken, Dortmund's board member for sport -- a position above Kehl's in the hierarchy -- said the decision came after a "very open discussion".
"(We) came to the shared conclusion that the summer is the right time for changes," Ricken said in the statement.
"To allow both sides to prepare, we mutually agreed to an immediate termination of Sebastian's contract.
