Sven Mislintat's future at Borussia Dortmund is in doubt, with the squad planner in danger of being fired after just three months.
Mislintat returned to Dortmund in May but according to BILD, his relationship with head coach Nuri Sahin appears to be completely broken.
After Mislintat ran onto the pitch during a training session, Sahin is said to have issued him a warning after being left 'freaked out'.
Although Mislintat reports to sporting director Sebastian Kehl, he has reportedly tried to go it alone with transfers by approaching players himself.
He was reportedly very critical of the signing of Yan Couto, who joined on loan from Manchester City with an option to buy. However, Kehl and sports director Lars Ricken pushed ahead with the transfer.
