"Everything here is great - from the management and the coaching staff to the incredible fans we have," he said, adding that he wanted to win "at least another title with this great team".
Medal collection
A FIFA World Cup winner with West Germany in 1990, Reuter has claimed three 1. Bundesliga titles and a UEFA Champions League winners' medal at Dortmund. He previously played for 1. FC Nürnberg and FC Bayern München. Dortmund are well placed to progress in this season's Champions League competition, occupying second place in their second-stage section, Group C.
