Didi Hamann claims some Borussia Dortmund players don't want Nuri Sahin as coach

Didi Hamann has claimed that some Borussia Dortmund players are already turning on Nuri Sahin, who is facing the heat amid the team's poor start to the season.

Borussia Dortmund suffered their third defeat of the season in the Bundesliga on Saturday as they were beaten 2-1 by FC Augsburg. The Black and Yellows looked very much off the pace despite taking the early lead, and were outplayed away from home once again.

Didi Hamann claims some Borussia Dortmund players don't want Nuri Sahin as coach

After the game, former Liverpool and Bayern Munich midfielder Didi Hamann made a shocking claim and said that he feels some Borussia Dortmund players do not want to play for Nuri Sahin.

During his appearance on Sky Sport after the game, Hamann said, "I have the feeling that after ten games, the situation has now arisen where some players no longer want this coach. The players have been given far too much power."

"I don't want to start a coaching discussion, he's a young coach, you have to give him time. The question is: How much time do you want to or will give him? He is no longer untouchable, the start of the season has gone too poorly for that."

It remains to be seen just how much truth there is to this claim from Hamann. But Sahin retains the support of the Borussia Dortmund bosses.

Sporting director Sebastian Kehl said after the defeat to Augsburg that they have full faith in Sahin's ability to turn things around.

With Borussia Dortmund reeling in seventh place in the Bundesliga standings, the pressure is certainly piling on Nuri Sahin. And he will hope that after a difficult week, his team can return to winning ways when they take on VfL Wolfsburg in the DFB-Pokal on Tuesday.
