DORTMUND, Germany (AP) — Borussia Dortmund has fired technical director Sven Mislintat after nine months as the club seeks to turn around a season which has seen last season’s Champions League runner-up fall to 11th in the Bundesliga. Mislintat previously worked at Arsenal and Ajax and was appointed in May to oversee “squad planning” at Dortmund. The troubled team fired coach Nuri Sahin last month and replaced him with Niko Kovac. A brief Dortmund statement on Thursday says Mislintat was told in person by Lars Ricken, the managing director for sport, that he's relieved of his duties “with immediate effect.”
