Jurgen Klopp remains the right man to lead Borussia Dortmund, according to CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke.

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp has earned a vote of confidence from CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke following the club's disappointing start to the season.

Saturday's 1-0 home defeat to Hamburger SV left last season's runners-up 13th in the Bundesliga table and 10 points adrift of leaders Bayern Munich.

Klopp remarked afterwards that the loss - Dortmund's third from their last four league outings - represented "rock bottom", but the 47-year-old still has the backing of the club's hierarchy.

"It is obvious that some players have reached their limit. This is understandable, they are not machines," Watzke told Kicker.

"Jurgen Klopp is absolutely the right man for Dortmund."

Dortmund travel away to FC Koln on October 18 following a two-week international break.
