Lars Ricken (born 10 July 1976) is a German retired footballer and current managing director of Borussia Dortmund.[1] From 2008 to 2024, he was the youth coordinator at Dortmund.
Ricken represented Borussia Dortmund during his entire professional career, which spanned 15 years. He was the youngest player to ever appear for the club in an official match, a record later broken by Nuri Şahin. An attacking midfielder, he won three Bundesliga titles (1994–95, 1995–96, 2001–02) and scored in the 1996–97 Champions League final which Dortmund won.
A German international for five years, Ricken represented the country at the 2002 World Cup and the 1999 Confederations Cup.
