Dortmund separates from Nuri Sahin - who will be the next coach?
On January 23, 2025, Borussia Dortmund announced the separation from coach Nuri Sahin. The decision was made after a disappointing 1-2 defeat in the Champions League against FC Bologna. Sahin, who had only been in office for a little more than half a year, regretted regret about the non -fulfillment of the sporting ambitions. Matthias Sammer, who analyzed the defeat as a TV expert at Amazon Prime, found that both coaches and team were in a "physical and intellectual non-constitution". Managing Director Lars Ricken described the decision as painful but inevitable, and confirmed that the search for a successor would be promoted as soon as possible.
Nuri Sahin had taken over the coaching post after a time as an assistant coach under Edin Terzic and started with large advance laurels. But the current season is difficult. BVB is currently seven points behind in fourth place in the Bundesliga, which further questions the sporting ambitions of the association. Sahin was the eighth coach of Borussia Dortmund since Jürgen Klopp's departure departed almost ten years ago. In the past few months, the decision to use Sahin as a trainer has also been viewed critically; This may have been inspired by the successes of Xabi Alonsos in Leverkusen.
interim solution and possible successors
For the time being, U-19 coach Mike Tullberg will take over the care of the professional team. Tullberg will be on the sidelines at the meeting against Werder Bremen next weekend. In the meantime, prominent names are already being considered as possible successors. The candidates include Joachim Löw, Roger Schmidt, Erik Ten Haag and Niko Kovac. The search for Sahin's successor should be of great importance due to the current situation and the sporting goals of the association.
In the past few months, the pressure on Dortmund leadership and Nuri Sahin has grown, since the team did not deliver the expected performance. Especially after the impressive appearance in the Champions League final in May, which did not reduce the ambitions of the association, the pressure was obvious. Sahin, who is considered a very young for a Bundesliga coach at the age of 35, could mature in another, more suitable environment. Nevertheless, his introduction to Borussia Dortmund was perhaps too early.
