DORTMUND, Germany (AP) — Borussia Dortmund fired coach Nuri Sahin on Wednesday, a day after its 2-1 loss to Bologna in the Champions League.

The loss 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 the Bundesliga, where it’s 10th.

“Borussia Dortmund and Nuri Sahin are going their separate ways with immediate effect,” the club said.

There was no immediate word on a successor. Dortmund’s next game is Saturday in the Bundesliga against Werder Bremen.
