Soccer coaches are frequently dismissed as clubs around the world make changes in their pursuit of success.
Across Europe’s top leagues—Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1—head coaches are regularly fired or step down mid-season, with managerial tenures becoming increasingly shorter each year.
As the 2024-25 European football season moves into the new year, several managers have already faced the axe. Following Borussia Dortmund’s 2-1 loss to Bologna in the Champions League on Tuesday, the club’s management dismissed head coach Nuri Sahin on Wednesday.
