Germany's top-flight football league - Headline: Hummels Leaves BVB, Sahin Takes Over as Coach
It's reported that Mats Hummels, the renowned center-back, will be leaving Borussia Dortmund, according to information from the "Ruhr Nachrichten." The newspaper claims that the 35-year-old footballer won't receive an offer for another year in the black and yellow jersey, as his contract will not be extended. Hummels, who's a key player for the German national team, played for the club from 2008 to 2016 and again since 2019.
In addition to Hummels, coach Edin Terzic is also leaving Dortmund. Terzic, who's just 41 years old, had requested the termination of his contract, which was valid until 2025. The club agreed to his request on Thursday.
Replacing Terzic is believed to be Nuri Sahin, a former Dortmund player. The news outlets suggest that Sahin is in the final stages of negotiations with the club's leadership. It's also rumored that former Dortmund player Sven Bender will assume co-trainer duties, a role he's held with Terzic as his assistant.
Official statements on Terzic's departure and Hummels' future at the club are expected to be released soon.
