Dortmund replaced Sahin after losing 1-2 to Italy's Serie A Bologna in the UEFA Champions League phase 7. Dortmund announced on its official website that the club and manager Sahin have their own way.

As a result, Sahin will step down as Dortmund's baton seven months after his inauguration. The reason is, of course, poor grades.

Dortmund replaced coach Edin Terzic, who finished second in the Champions League last season, and appointed Sahin, a team legend from Turkiye, as the new coach. But this decision was the worst choice. Dortmund are literally devastated at the end of this season.

In the Champions League, he is 13th out of 36 teams, losing to Bologna. If they fail to win the final match against Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine, they are likely to fail to go straight to the round of 16.

Even the team's performance fell sharply and the team's stock price plunged. It hit its lowest point in the last 10 years.

Ultimately, the Dortmund club replaced Sahin. The first person to replace him was Ten Hach, who was dismissed from Manchester United in October last year. Manchester United replaced Ten Hach and paid him £13 million in compensation, after which Ten Hach went into hiding.

However, when Sahin was replaced, Ten Hach's name reappeared. Sky Sports Germany reported that former Manchester United manager Ten Haach and former Benfica coach Roger Schmidt were nominated for the top spot.

In conclusion, however, Ten Hach is completely absent from this list.
