BERLIN (Reuters) -Central defender Mats Hummels will leave Borussia Dortmund immediately, the Bundesliga club said on Friday, ending a partnership that stretched back to 2008 with a three-year spell at Bayern Munich.

Only hours later, Dortmund announced assistant coach Nuri Sahin as their new head coach, replacing Edin Terzic who left the Champions League finalists on Thursday.
