Nuri Sahin's Future at Stake: "Borussia" Faces "Bologna" in Decisive Match

The Borussia vs Bologna match

Head coach of "Borussia" Nuri Sahin risks his position before the match with "Bologna" in the Champions League.

The seventh round of the group stage of the Champions League against "Bologna" takes on special significance for the current "Borussia" head coach Nuri Sahin. The match could be his last in this role if the team loses to the Italian side, as reported by German media.

Sahin arrives in Bologna under the shadow of the Damocles sword. A trio of consecutive failures in the German championship has dropped the club to tenth place in the Bundesliga, twenty points behind leaders "Bayern". However, in Europe, "Borussia" shows remarkable resilience, sitting in ninth place in the group with a real chance of advancing to the round of 16 in the Champions League.

The Dortmunders conclude the group stage with matches against the group's lower-table teams — Bologna on January 21 and Shakhtar on the 29th. Successful outcomes in these games could change the situation for the coach.
