Borussia Dortmund have dismissed head coach Nuri Şahin following a string of poor performances, including a 2-1 defeat to Bologna in the UEFA Champions League. The loss was Dortmund's fourth defeat in 11 days, leaving them with just one win in their last nine matches across all competitions. Şahin, 36, was appointed in June 2024 and oversaw 12 wins, 4 draws, and 11 defeats during his tenure. Under his leadership, Dortmund were eliminated from the German Cup in the second round and currently sit 10th in the Bundesliga standings, without a victory in 2025. The club is now reportedly considering candidates such as Erik ten Hag and Roger Schmidt as potential successors.
