Borussia Dortmund have sacked coach Lucien Favre.

Dortmund have sacked Favre after their humiliating 5-1 defeat at home to Stuttgart on Saturday.

It is believed the squad will be informed about the decision during their training session on Sunday afternoon, and Favre's previous assistant coach Edin Terzic will take charge of the team against Werder Bremen.

As it stands, Dortmund currently sit fifth on the Bundesliga table on 19 points from their first 11 games.

During Favre's time at the helm, Dortmund have played 110 games, won 68, drawn 17 and lost 25.
