Every coach, no matter where they go, tries to instil discipline in their team in their own unique way. For example, Steven Gerrard, when he was the coach of Aston Villa, fined players 8,500 KSH if they didn’t bring a cake for their birthday. There was also a fine of 17,000 KSH if players showered barefoot.##NAJAVA_MECA_8388477##Something similar, though not as bizarre, has been introduced by Nuri Şahin at Borussia Dortmund. The Turkish-German coach has implemented a rule where each player is fined 14,000 KSH per minute for being late to training. For example, missing a weigh-in results in a 35,000 KSH fine. This is all to ensure that players carry out their duties precisely and professionally.The use of phones is prohibited during team activities like bandaging or team meals, and violators are fined 14,000 KSH. The same fine applies if players leave the locker rooms messy or are not properly dressed.Currently, a “fine catalog” from the 2023/24 season has resurfaced on social networks, which remains valid under Nuri Sahin. It shows that the highly paid BVB stars still have to pay for the same offenses – but some of the fines have drastically increased over the years.Back in… pic.twitter.com/K2bRWHReOW— ari (@aritrabvb1909) October 1, 2024 Players are expected to engage with fans.
