Sahin’s Strict Regime: The Harsh Fines Facing Borussia Dortmund Players
As Borussia Dortmund’s new head coach, Nuri Sahin has brought a no-nonsense approach to the pitch, and it’s not just the opposition who are feeling the heat. According to a leaked list, Dortmund players are facing some serious fines if they fail to comply with Sahin’s rules.
As reported by Bild and picked up by Daily Mail, the list of fines dates back to the 2023/24 season under Edin Terzic, but Sahin has apparently opted to maintain the same penalties. So, what’s on the line? For starters, a whopping €100 per minute if you’re late to training or physio sessions. That’s right, if you’re 30 minutes late, you’ll be slapped with a €3,000 fine on matchday, and €5,000 if you miss a scheduled club event entirely.
But that’s not all. Wearing the wrong gear? €250, the same fine for missing a weight session. And if you refuse to sign autograph cards for fans? €2,000, with a €500 penalty for declining to sign shirts. And if you think that’s harsh, wait till you see what happens if you snub the club’s legendary supporters. You got it – €2,000 and €500, respectively.
This isn’t the first time a club’s fine list has made headlines. Wrexham’s list was leaked last year, and we’ve seen similar lists emerge from Chelsea, Motherwell, and Plymouth. So, what’s the motivation behind these strict rules? Apparently, Terzic’s tough approach paid off last season, as Dortmund reached the Champions League final before losing to Real Madrid.
Under Sahin’s leadership, Dortmund have started the new season strong, with three wins, a draw, and one defeat in their opening five league games. Next up, they face Celtic in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Will they be able to maintain their momentum, or will Sahin’s fines keep them on their toes?
