Sergei Wenergold has been jailed for 14years after he was found guilty of the attack on Borrusia Dortmund's team bus in 2017.

A court in Germany convicted the German-Russian international of 28 counts of attempted murder.

The Bomb attack happened on April 11 when Dortmund were on their way to a Champions League clash against Monaco.

Not too long after leaving the teams hotel, the explosion occurred and left centre-back Marc Bartra needing surgery on a fractured wrist and shrapnel in his arm.

A police officer is also said to have gotten injured in the attack but no other Dortmund player or staff got hurt.

Wenergold admitted to making and setting off three bombs in the attack, but he has denied that he tried to kill anyone in the process.

It was also revealed that it was part of a money making scheme.

The 29-year-old bought €44,000 worth of share options with the expectation that the club's stock price would plummet and allow him to sell them on for a large profit.

Instead, the share price rose in the wake of the attack.

When asked by chief prosecutor Carsten Dombert at the trial whether he would have remained as BVB boss had the events of April 11 not occurred, former coach Tuchel replied: "I would assume that

"Aki [Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke ] has already said publicly that there has been big dissent, which is true.

"The big dissent was that I was sitting on the bus and Aki was not. That's why there was a different approach to dealing with it, without wanting to reproach Aki for that."
