Dortmund Sack Manager Nuri Sahin After 7 Months
Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund have terminated the contract of Turkish Manager Nuri Sahin after seven months in charge.
This sprang from his team’s 2-1 defeat to FC Bologna in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, January 22, 2025.
In a statement it announced, “We value Nuri Sahin and his work very much, we hoped for a long-term collaboration and until the end, we had hoped that we could achieve a sporting turnaround together…We have unfortunately lost faith in being able to achieve our sporting goals in the current constellation. This decision hurts…, but it was unavoidable after the game in Bologna.”
The club noted that his dismissal is with immediate effect.
Sahin understands that he failed to live up to the expectations of the club.
“Unfortunately, we have not managed to live up to Borussia Dortmund’s sporting ambitions this season. I wish this special club all the best.”
In the interim, Dortmund has named 39-year-old BVB’s U19 coach to take over the team.
“Following the resignation of head coach Nuri Sahin, Borussia Dortmund have decided that Mike Tullberg will take over as coach against SV Werder Bremen next Saturday.”
Sahin led the team into four defeats in a row before his dismissal and managed only one win in the last nine games.
They are currently seated in the tenth spot on the Bundesliga table.
