It was seen as a gamble by Borussia Dortmund when they chose to bring in their young and promising assistant coach Nuri Sahin as a new manger this summer.
Journalist Nicolo Schira writes that the ex-player will be fired in the coming days and the information comes in the wake of Friday’s 2-0 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt. German Sky reports that Sahin needs a win against Bologna in the Champions League on Tuesday at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara to keep his job. – But even if that happens, it is not at all certain that he will keep his job.
Dortmund have struggled under Sahin’s leadership and the team is in tenth place in the Bundesliga. After Tuesday’s 4-2 loss to bottom team Holstein Kiel. Sahin himself claimed that he did not think about his own job: “The last person I think about right now is myself. I’m speechless, shocked. “I’m worried about Dortmund,”
Former Ajax and Manchester United Erik ten Hag is almost ready to take over, but just like he did against Manchester United before taking the job at Old Trafford, he has come up with an expensive list of demands. Borussia Dortmund, who are known for being good in the transfer market, are not in the habit of giving in to pressure.
Erik ten Hag has demanded, again just like with Manchester United, that Borussia Dortmund sign Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong. (Which, by the way, has Europe’s highest player salary)
If they reach an agreement with Erik ten Hag, Sahin, who has a contract with Dortmund until 2027, will be fired.
We at Sporten.com think it is a mistake for Borussia Dortmund to sign Erik ten Hag, a minor mistake than it was for Manchester United, but still a mistake.
