Borussia Dortmund has dismissed head coach Nuri Sahin following the team’s 2-1 defeat to Bologna in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Naija News reports that the club announced on Wednesday that they had “lost faith” in the young manager.
Having reached the finals of the competition last season, this latest loss marks Dortmund’s fourth consecutive defeat across all competitions.
The German team will now be on the look out for a suitable replacement for Sahin.
So far, two teams have successfully secured their positions in the knockout stages of this season’s UEFA Champions League.
Naija News reports that English Premier League leaders, Liverpool stand out as the first team to confirm their advancement into the knockout stage of the Champions League.
They have demonstrated remarkable consistency throughout the group stage.
Under their manager’s leadership, they have remained at the top of the league phase since Match Day 1. Their recent 2-1 victory over Lille not only preserved their perfect record but also highlighted their resilience and determination on the field.
With seven matches completed, the Reds have amassed an impressive total of 21 points, having won each fixture.
Barcelona have also earned their spot in the knockout rounds, following a thrilling 5-4 victory against Benfica that showcased their attacking skill and resilience.
This exciting match enhanced Barcelona’s total to 18 points in the group stage. Although they have performed admirably, they’re trailing behind Liverpool’s points tally, meaning the Reds will need just one more point in their final match to secure the top position in the group.
As the group stage approaches its conclusion, all eyes will be on the final matches as teams seek to solidify their rankings.
