Borussia Dortmund Stand by Nuri Sahin Despite Recent Struggles and DFB-Pokal Exit

Despite a challenging start to the 2024–25 season, Borussia Dortmund has convinced manager Nuri Sahin that his position is secure. As Dortmund tries to duplicate last season’s high points, the former BVB midfielder, who succeeded Edin Terzic after a successful stint at Turkish club Antalyaspor, has encountered difficulties. Wolfsburg’s recent shocking departure from the DFB-Pokal has further increased worries.

Background and Difficulties

After Dortmund advanced to the Champions League final the previous season under Terzic, who laid a solid basis for Sahin’s term, the team’s supporters had high expectations. Sahin’s start has been difficult, though, and pressure has increased due to his patchy league play. Dortmund’s management, however, is still confident in Sahin’s ability to lead the team and carry on Terzic’s heritage.
