Favre's biggest achievement seems to be that of helping striker star Reus become a consistent top performer. Dortmund is benefitting immensely from the 29-year-old who has scored nine goals and provided nine assists.

"We're currently seeing the best Reus ever," Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke commented. In contrast to previous four years when he suffered a number of serious injuries, Reus has managed to stay fit.

One of Favre's first steps after taking the Dortmund job was to appoint Reus as the captain. And Favre gave him his favorite position, just behind the front line, allowing him to the space he was able to find.

Like Favre, Reus is said to be ready to win his first major title. But first Dortmund, Reus, and Favre have to survive a challenging week.
