However, the German admits while BVB coach, he had the chance to sign the Senegalese great - but snubbed the striker.
He told ESPN: "There are a couple of Dortmund supporters here, so I have to apologize to them for not signing Sadio Mané for Dortmund.
"I could say I was young and naive (but) I wasn't that young and naive. I realised that when he came to Liverpool. I thought: 'That's a lot of money (compared to what Dortmund would have had to spend to sign him earlier)'."
Mane is now playing in the Saudi Pro League for Al-Nassr.
