Borussia Dortmund Faces Uncertainty Over Nuri Sahin Amid Worst Bundesliga Start in a Decade

Club leadership hesitates to dismiss the underperforming coach despite mounting losses and a diminishing chance of Champions League qualification.

  • Borussia Dortmund's 2-4 loss to Holstein Kiel marks their worst Bundesliga first-half performance in ten years, with only one away win in eight matches.
  • The team risks falling to 11th place in the standings, far from their season goal of Champions League qualification.
  • Despite increasing pressure, club leadership has opted to retain head coach Nuri Sahin, citing reluctance to admit mistakes in hiring him due to his limited coaching experience.
  • Sahin will remain in charge for at least the next two matches, including a critical Champions League game against Bologna, but his position may be reevaluated afterward.
  • Key figures in the club, including Lars Ricken and Sebastian Kehl, have publicly criticized the team's performances, emphasizing the need for accountability and improvement.
