Nuri Sahin fired as Borussia Dortmund coach after Champions League defeat

Borussia Dortmund has reportedly parted ways with head coach Nuri Sahin following the team’s 2-1 defeat against Bologna in the Champions League on Jan. 21.

The 36-year-old Turkish manager, who took charge of the club in June 2024, leaves after a series of poor performances both domestically and in European competitions.

Dortmund is currently in tenth place in the Bundesliga and has lost its last 4 matches in all competitions.

Dortmund’s poor performance under Sahin leads to dismissal

Sahin started his tenure with high expectations because of his legacy as a former Borussia Dortmund player with more than 250 appearances for the club.

However, the team has struggled this season with inconsistent performances and disappointing results.

Dortmund is 20 points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich.

The team is 7 points away from a Champions League qualification spot.

The defeat to Bologna marked the team’s 4th consecutive loss since the winter break.

Before this, Borussia Dortmund suffered defeats against Bayer Leverkusen, Holstein Kiel, and Eintracht Frankfurt in Bundesliga matches.

The club has secured only 1 victory in its last 9 games across all competitions.
