Borussia Dortmund has fired coach Nuri Sahin. The decision came a day after its 2-1 loss to Bologna in the Champions League. The defeat extended Dortmund's losing streak to four games since the new year and dropped last season's Champions League runner-up to 13th in the standings. Dortmund is also struggling in 10th place in the Bundesliga. There was no immediate word on a successor. Dortmund's next game is Saturday in the Bundesliga against Werder Bremen.
