DORTMUND, Germany (AP) - Borussia Dortmund appointed former player Nuri Sahin as coach on Friday to replace Edin Terzić, who quit the club the day before.
The 35-year-old Sahin, who was previously Terzić's assistant, signed a new three-year contract.
"From day one we will do everything we can and work with energy and passion to make this club as successful as possible," Sahin said in a Dortmund statement.
Sahin played 274 competitive games over two spells at Dortmund, scoring 26 goals. He left after the first stint for Real Madrid in 2011 and also played on loan for Liverpool before returning to Dortmund, initially on loan, in 2013. Sahin also played for Werder Bremen and Turkish team Antalyaspor, where he started his coaching career. He returned to Dortmund as assistant coach last January.
