Borussia Dortmund is in danger. Dropped in 13th place in the Bundesliga, the yellow and black team remains with just one victory in the last five matches, including three defeats in a row, in addition to an elimination in the second round of the German Cup. In the Champions League, BVB is 9th and remains with a defeat at home, against Barça. Before the trip to Bologna this Tuesday evening, Nuri Şahin, the coach of the Marsupiaux, plays his future.

“In a way, I don’t feel any pressure. What concerns me most is that we can finally turn things around against Bologna and that we take a big step forward, in this Champions League, to return to the Bundesliga and catch up. Of course the pressure affects me, but I'm not lying, I'm fine. It is clear that the situation is difficult”he explained at a press conference. Because, for its part, the management of the BVB is already looking towards the future.
Nuri Şahin plays his future against Bologna
As informs Sky Sports GermanyRoger Schmidt, Germany assistant Sandro Wagner, Sebastian Hoeness and former Bayern Munich coach Niko Kovac are in BVB's shortlist to replace Şahin, who would play his future this Tuesday evening. But the big favorite is Erik ten Hag. A frequent guest at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund since his dismissal by Manchester United last October, the Dutchman could quickly bounce back after his failure at MU.

In addition, the ex-Ajax Amsterdam maintains good relations with Dortmund's chief advisor, Matthias Sammer. The German media specifies that Ten Hag is open to the possibility of taking over at Borussia Dortmund, but would seek assurance that he can build something in the long term within the club. For the moment, the BVB has not yet made an official offer and is therefore awaiting the result of this Tuesday evening to potentially take action.
