maybe things will be better in 2024. because the dortmund coach will now have a good co-coach . assistant coach Edin Terzić will be Nuri Sahin from January 2024.
Nuri Sahin has been coach at Turkish club Antalyaspor since October 2021 . now he is to support Edin Terzić . and ex-professional Sven Bender is also part of the coaching staff at borussia dortmund with immediate effect . i am now curious to see if there will be better results for dortmund in january and february . otherwise the club will not qualify for the champions league . there are still a lot of points to be won in the next 18 games . but i think dortmund will be in 2nd-4th place at the end of the season
Personally I think we got used to see Dortmund a very strong force in Bundesliga but lately they are not so strong at all and they also need to change a few players withing their squad because it's clear that something is not working.
I also don't think that they can achieve UCL spots this year or they will achieve it with a bit of luck and help from teams like Stuttgart ( who are 3rd place ) and Leipzig ( 4th place right now ) but it kinda looks like top 4 are already locked in.
Yes, Dortmund is not any real threat for any top teams any more. And they lost all credibility when they could not win the Bundesliga last season. They had a golden chance to actually win. Somehow they were unable to. And that was all their fault.
And in this season, they are not playing well. Just look at the last five matches. In the last four matches, they do not have any wins at all. With this type of performance, we cannot expect anything much from Dortmund to be honest. And right now I do not think the players that are in the Dortmund squad, are actually reliable.
