Nuri Sahin was fired by Borussia Dortmund, a German team, after just seven months in command.
According to sources, the former Dortmund and Real Madrid midfielder was relieved of his duties following his team’s 2-1 loss to Bologna on Tuesday night.
Sahin was fired on Tuesday night, according to Bild and Sky Germany, and the coaching staff and team were told of the decision at the Dortmund team hotel in Bologna.
In a club statement, Dortmund sporting director Lars Ricken said: “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.
“After four defeats in a row, due to only one win in the last nine games and currently tenth in the Bundesliga table, we have unfortunately lost faith in being able to achieve our sporting goals in the current constellation. This decision hurts me personally, but it was unavoidable after the game in Bologna.”
