After the Champions League final last season, Terzic resigned, and Sahin unexpectedly became the new head coach of Dortmund. In an interview, Sahin said that he didn’t want to be an assistant coach forever and that he was fully prepared to take over the team.
Regarding his unexpected appointment as Dortmund’s head coach, Sahin said he didn’t want to be an assistant coach for life, “I don’t want to be an assistant coach forever, Terzic also knows that, being an assistant coach is not a role that will stay with me for a long time, after all, I had also been a head coach before (Note: He was the head coach of the Turkish team Antalyaspor).”
Sahin then discussed the difference between being an assistant coach and a head coach, “The difference is the final decision-making power, but when an assistant coach suddenly becomes a head coach, the players also need time to adapt. But both coaches and players must respect each other and play their roles, although I am only 35, I have a 13-year-old child, and I know what the next generation thinks.”
Regarding why he included Piszczek in his coaching staff, Sahin said that he knew Piszczek very well and had kept in touch, so when he became Dortmund’s head coach, he immediately invited Piszczek to join his coaching staff.
Regarding whether Emre Can will continue to be Dortmund’s captain, Sahin said, “We don’t have any other plans for now, and 10 players are still on vacation, so it’s pointless to discuss this topic.”
Regarding his sudden takeover of Dortmund, Sahin said that he was fully prepared and that he would be able to handle the job, “Of course, my appointment was unexpected, everyone thought Terzic would stay. But I believe I am ready, otherwise I wouldn’t have taken over the team, and I believe the club has a lot of confidence in me, otherwise they wouldn’t have put me in charge.”
