Borussia Dortmund dismisses coach Nuri Sahin after four losses

Borussia Dortmund has fired head coach Nuri Sahin following a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Bologna in the UEFA Champions League, which marked the team's fourth consecutive loss in all competitions. This defeat left Dortmund at 13th in the Champions League standings and 10th in the Bundesliga, raising concerns about their ability to qualify for next season's European competition. The club's managing director, Lars Ricken, expressed a loss of faith in Sahin's leadership, stating the decision was necessary after a series of poor performances. Sahin, who took over as head coach just over six months ago, previously served as an assistant and is a former player for Dortmund. The club is currently in search of a successor ahead of their next match against Werder Bremen. Sahin's departure reflects the mounting pressure and urgency for Dortmund to improve their performance on the pitch.
