Borussia Dortmund has fired coach Nuri Sahin, the German soccer club said on Wednesday after a shock loss to Bologna in the Champions League that stretched their losing run to four games across all competitions.

"Borussia Dortmund has released head coach Nuri Sahin with immediate effect following an internal analysis of recent sporting developments," said the club in a statement.

Several German media outlets had reported the move earlier.

Borussia Dortmund's 2-1 loss at Bologna increased the pressure on Sahin on Tuesday in Dortmund's fourth consecutive loss at the start of the new year in all competitions.

Serhou Guirassy gave Dortmund the lead with a chipped penalty and ran to celebrate with Sahin.

It looked like the Champions League could provide a much-needed boost for a team floundering in the Bundesliga, but two goals in two minutes from Thijs Dallinga and Samuel Iling-Junior changed the game for previously winless Bologna.
