Borussia Dortmund have named Nuri Sahin as the club’s new head coach following the resignation of Edin Terzic from the post on Thursday.

Having led Dortmund to last month’s Champions League final, where they lost 2-0 to Real Madrid, Terzic declared it was time for the club to start a “new era” and that will commence under the guidance of Sahin. The German-born former Turkey midfielder played 274 matches for Dortmund and won the Bundesliga title there under Jürgen Klopp. The 35-year-old also had a brief loan spell at Liverpool a little more than a decade ago, as well as representing Real, Feyenoord, Werder Bremen and Antalyaspor.
