Borussia Dortmund have parted ways with manager Nuri Sahin after a disappointing start to the 2025 season. The club sits in 10th place in the Bundesliga, seven points outside the European qualification spots. Dortmund also suffered its third Champions League loss on Tuesday, making their chances of automatic qualification for the knockout stage slim.
Defeat to Bologna on Tuesday was their third loss in this season's Champions League , meaning last season's runners-up need a result against Shakhtar Donetsk in their final league phase game to have the chance to automatically reach the knockouts.
A run of three domestic defeats to start 2025 has put them 10th in the Bundesliga, seven points outside the top four and therefore endangering their chances of a return to the Champions League next term. "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," said Dortmund sporting director Lars Ricken.Sahin, 36, who had two stints at the club as a player, said: "Unfortunately, we have not managed to live up to Borussia Dortmund's sporting ambitions this season.
