BVB Coach Nuri Sahin Faces Critical Champions League Test in Bologna

With Dortmund struggling in the Bundesliga, Sahin's future hinges on the team's performance against Bologna.

Borussia Dortmund has suffered three consecutive Bundesliga losses, dropping to 10th place in the table and intensifying pressure on coach Nuri Sahin.
The Champions League match against Bologna on Tuesday is seen as a pivotal moment for Sahin, with club leadership providing a job guarantee only for this game.
Dortmund has performed better in the Champions League, currently ranked 9th in the group stage, and a win could secure a significant step toward direct qualification for the knockout rounds.
Lothar Matthäus has criticized the team's lack of leadership and suggested former Germany coach Joachim Löw as a potential interim replacement for Sahin, though Löw has expressed no interest in Bundesliga roles.
Key players, including Nico Schlotterbeck, acknowledge the team's responsibility to improve performance and support Sahin, aiming to leverage the Champions League as a confidence boost for domestic recovery.
