Let \(R\) be a ring, \(f\in R[X], \deg(f)\geq 2.\) Then \(f\) is said to be decomposable over \(R\) if there exist non-linear polynomials \(h,g\in R[X],\) such that \(f(X)=g(h(X)).\) The paper contains two results about decomposable polynomials. The first one shows that if \(R\) is a domain of characteristic zero and \(S\) is the integral closure of \(R\), any monic polynomial with coefficients in \(R\) that is decomposable over \(S\) is decomposable also over \(R.\) As for the second result, let \(R\) be the ring of integers of a number field \(K\) and assume that \(R\) is not a UFD. Then there exists \(f\in R[X]\) that is decomposable over \(K\) but not over \(R.\) These results answer two questions of [\textit{I. Gusić}, Glas. Mat., III. Ser. 43, No. 1, 7--12 (2008; Zbl 1141.13300)].
