For TV expert Dietmar Hamann, Nuri Sahin’s days as coach at Borussia Dortmund are numbered. It could be that the team wins at Eintracht Frankfurt at the start of the second half of the season on Friday and this saves the coach’s job, said the 51-year-old on Sky. “But at the moment I don’t have the imagination as to how that should work,” explained Hamann.
After the defeat in Kiel, the ninth-placed team is already five points behind a Champions League place. “You have repeatedly said that if qualification for the Champions League is or is in danger, then you also have to think about the coach“, said Hamann. And further: “The time is not far away when they have to do something.”
Hamann expressed doubts that the 36-year-old Sahin is the right coach for a top team like Borussia Dortmund. If you go there as a coach, things have to work, said Hamann. There has to be tension in it and you have to have the feeling that something is growing together. “I didn’t have that from the first day with Sahin,” he emphasized, “he says, er is in overall responsibility. You can’t kick six players out. If things don’t go well, the coach is the weakest link and he has to go.” According to the former defender, the current situation has nothing to do with the fact that Sahin is a young coach with little experience. More support than he received is leaving not. “Borussia Dortmund is not a job for learning. If you want to learn, then you have to go to the 2nd league or the 3rd league” said Hamann.
