By Ben McFadyean.Nuri Sahin’s Dortmund team was once again overwhelmed by a significantly less impressive side in the form of the Serie A’s seventh-placed Bologna side, that have only won once

Borussia Dortmund and head coach Nuri Sahin have parted ways with immediate effect after a string of poor results across all competitions. When Sahin was at the helm, Dortmund struggled in the Bundesliga and got knocked out of the German Cup.

Nuri Şahin’s record as manager was atrocious. His BVB team picked up an average of 1.48, which is, according to Stefan Bienkowski, the worst record for a Dortmund coach in 17 years. While the issues at the club are certainly not all down to the manager, it is clear that Şahin was a big problem.
