Sahin’s New Role and Challenges
Sahin, who called his appointment a “great honour,” will now be tasked with leading Dortmund in their pursuit of success in the Bundesliga, the Champions League, the DFB-Pokal (German Cup), and potentially the Euro 2024, FIFA World Cup, and Women’s World Cup competitions.
As the new season approaches, football fans and enthusiasts can look forward to Sahin’s leadership and his ability to build on Dortmund’s rich history and develop the team further. This move represents a promising chapter in the club’s future as they strive to reclaim their position as a dominant force in European and global football.
