Borussia Dortmund have clarified the future of Nuri Sahin following the Bundesliga club poor results in recent weeks.
Nuri Sahin replaced Edin Terzic as Borussia Dortmund boss ahead of the 2024/25 season, having garnered coaching experience while being at the helm for Turkish outfit Antalyaspor.
However, things has not gone according to plan. Sahin has failed to build on Terzic’s success last season as Dortmund reached the Champions League final, which they lost 2-0 to Real Madrid.
Dortmund has been on a decline under Sahin in 2024-25 and the recent second-round shock exit at the hands of Wolfsburg in the DFB-Pokal has only further exacerbated the situation.
Amid growing pressure, Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl has come out in public to extend his support to the under-fire Sahin.
Following the 1-0 extra time loss to Wolfsburg in the Cup, Kehl told the reporters (h/t CNA): “It is clear that we are not satisfied with the overall situation of our results. But we have to stick together and work hard on things. We are lagging behind in our goals. But we will go through it together. This is a situation that Dortmund has handled successfully in the past.”
Sahin, a club legend made 274 appearances for BVB during two different spells at the club, but will have to produce positive result in the next few matches to keep his job.
Dortmund’s next game is up against an RB Leipzig side that are in red-hot form currently. A loss against them on Saturday, November 2, could potentially deepen the crisis, both for the club and for Sahin.
