Borussia Dortmund appoint former star Nuri Sahin as new manager following Champions League runner-up Edin Terzic's departure

Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund unveiled Sahin as their new boss following Terzic's shock exit earlier in the week. BVB were runners-up in the Champions League following a 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid at Wembley. Terzic admitted he thought a new man should guide the club forward after the agonising loss.

Sahin is a Dortmund legend but the former midfielder has a lot of work to do over the summer. Alongside Terzic, veteran defender Mats Hummels has also left the club following their fifth-placed finish in the Bundesliga. BVB were 27 points off champions Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the campaign.

Speaking to the club for the first time as the new manager, Sahin said: "It is a great honour for me to be head coach of Borussia Dortmund. I would like to thank everyone in the club’s senior management team for the faith they have shown in me, and I am hugely looking forward to my new role at BVB. From day one we will do everything we can and work with energy and passion to make this club as successful as possible."

Sahin is already well acquainted with the Borussia Dortmund squad but will have to wait a few weeks before re-introducing himself as the new manager. Most players are either away on holiday or with the national teams ahead of a summer that includes Euro 2024 and Copa America. While they are away, the Turkish tactician will get to work on reshaping the squad as BVB look to mount a title challenge in 2024-25.
