The experiment with coach Nuri Sahin failed resoundingly. As inevitable as the separation is, the problems facing Borussia Dortmund are now just as big: in practice – and in their self-image.
At the end of his term in office, Nuri Sahin was shown once again what it all could have felt like. The ecstasy had broken out in the January cold of Bologna, where people were still in each other’s arms a quarter of an hour after the final whistle. Where coach Vincenzo Italiano sprinted across the field and jumped around like a little child. Where a club celebrated, even though the sporting disappointment was actually still clear: FC Bologna will no longer move into the intermediate round of the Champions League. Not even after this celebrated 2-1 (0-1) against Borussia Dortmund, a win against a team that can still claim to be one of the best 24 teams in Europe.
