Borussia Dortmund fired coach Nuri Sahin on Wednesday, a day after its 2-1 loss to Bologna in the Champions League. The defeat extended Dortmund's losing streak to four games since the new year and dropped last season's Champions League runner-up to 13th in the 36-team standings.

Borussia Dortmund announced this Wednesday the dismissal of Nuri Sahin as head coach following a string of four consecutive defeats, the latest being a Champions League loss to Bologna.

Borussia Dortmund have fired head coach Nuri Sahin in the wake of Tuesday's 2-1 Champions League loss at Bologna, saying they had "lost faith" in him. Sahin was assistant to former Dortmund coach Edin Terzic in last season's surprise run to the Champions League final where they lost to Real Madrid and the 36-year-old was promoted to head coach in the summer.
