Borussia Dortmund have undergone a major shake-up over the past week after parting ways with Terzic, before the club appointed Nuri Čahin as their new manager on a three-year deal, followed by the departure of Mats Hummels when the 35-year-old defender’s contract expires on June 30.

The 30-year-old midfielder also reflected on his first season as BVB captain: ‘It was a season full of ups and downs. Things weren’t so good in the Bundesliga, but we did much better in the Champions League.’ 

Chan also spoke about the appointment of Shahin as the new coach, saying: ‘I am very happy with Nouri, of course. I have a very good relationship with him, that’s true. He is an incredibly good coach and he will definitely help us.’
