Borussia Dortmund sack Nuri Sahin after poor start to season
Borussia Dortmund have sacked head coach Nuri Sahin with the team out of the German Cup and struggling in the Bundesliga.
Sahin, who was appointed in June as Edin Terzić’s replacement, was supposed to usher in a new era but the former Dortmund player’s reign has proved short-lived with the team 10th in the league.
Their Champions League form has proved to be something of a tonic for Sahin but Tuesday’s defeat at Bologna prompted the club’s management to move on from the former Real Madrid and Liverpool midfielder.
Terzić had led Dortmund on an improbable run to the Champions League final last season, where they were beaten 2-0 by Real Madrid, though the team’s league form was less impressive as they scraped into this year’s Champions League with a fifth-placed finish.
