n### Pressure Mounts on Nuri Sahin as Borussia Dortmund Considers Coaching Change
The pressure on Nuri Sahin is reaching a critical point, with several German media outlets reporting that the Borussia Dortmund coach’s position is under serious threat. Sources have confirmed to German Sky that Erik ten Hag is being considered as a potential successor.
Sahin’s struggles intensified after his team’s recent defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday evening. This marked their third consecutive loss as the winter break, raising questions about the effectiveness of the extra training sessions during the hiatus. Currently sitting tenth in the Bundesliga, Dortmund’s domestic form has been disappointing. However,sahin still has a chance to redeem himself in the Champions League,where the team is ninth and advancing to the round of 16. According to Sky, Tuesday’s away match against Bologna could be decisive for Sahin’s future at the club.
Several candidates are reportedly being considered to replace sahin.Erik ten Hag,the former Ajax and Manchester United manager,is a leading contender due to his availability after being dismissed from Manchester United in October.Another potential candidate is Sebastian Hoeness, who has been excelling at VfB Stuttgart. Hoeness, currently fourth in the Bundesliga, led Stuttgart to a Champions League spot last season.Though,securing him would likely require waiting until the summer.
Borussia dortmund’s director, Lars Ricken, has further heightened the pressure on Sahin. After the Frankfurt defeat, Ricken stated, “Nuri is on the bench against Bologna, but we all know that we simply need victories and successes quickly. Nuri knows that too. That is what we expect.”
