Berlin: Borussia Dortmund has fired coach Nuri Sahin, the German football club said on Wednesday after a shock loss to Bologna in the Champions League that stretched their losing run to four games across all competitions.

"Borussia Dortmund has released head coach Nuri Sahin with immediate effect following an internal analysis of recent sporting developments," said the club in a statement.

Several German media outlets had reported the move earlier.
