“Borussia Dortmund Dismisses Nuri Sahin After Champions League Setback”.
Borussia Dortmund has officially sacked head coach Nuri Sahin following a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Bologna in the UEFA Champions League. This loss was the fourth consecutive defeat for Dortmund in all competitions in 2025, significantly impacting their performance both in the Bundesliga and the Champions League.
Sahin, who took over as head coach in June 2024, had previously led the team to a Champions League final, but the current season has seen Dortmund struggle, sitting 10th in the Bundesliga and with a poor run in other competitions.
The decision to part ways with Sahin was confirmed by Borussia Dortmund’s official statements, with managing director Lars Ricken citing the team’s recent performances as the reason for this change, despite his personal regard for Sahin.
The club had hoped for a long-term collaboration but felt it was necessary to act after four defeats in a row, including their latest in the Champions League. This move comes after a season where Dortmund has only managed one win in their last nine games across all competitions.
Borussia Dortmund faithfuls will keep their fingers crossed to see who will be appointed as the Successor to Sahin as the team looks to salvage their season.
