Champions League finalist this season, Dortmund has chosen Nuri Sahin as their new coach. At only 35 years old, the Turk replaces Edin Terzic, who announced his decision on Thursday. Assistant coach since January, Nuri Sahin seemed to be the priority option for the Ruhr club. Sahin is establishing himself in a club where he played for 13 years. The ex-midfielder also wore the Real Madrid jersey between 2011 and 2013. After his career, the thirty-year-old coached Antalyaspor in Turkey. Sahin will attempt to lead Dortmund to a Bundesliga title for the first time since 2012 in a league made up of Bayern Munich and Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen.
