Why It Matters
After the third matchday and a 5-0 defeat against Freiburg, Gladbach continued to have no points in the season.
According to a media report, Eugen Polanski is no longer coach of Borussia Mönchengladbach. As the “Rheinische Post” reports, Polanski announced his resignation one day after the 5-0 defeat at SC Freiburg. An official confirmation from the club can therefore be expected later on Sunday.
According to the report, assistant coach Tobias Trulsen will also leave the club. Jan-Moritz Lichte will initially take over the coaching job on an interim basis, it was said. Lichte came to the Lower Rhine from Manchester City in the summer.
Borussia, still without points, would have to look for a new head coach after the third matchday, as was the case last season. In the previous season, the club parted ways with coach Gerardo Seoane after three games. Almost exactly a year ago, the 40-year-old Polanski, the previous coach of Borussia's regional league team, took over.
As with Seoane the previous year, the Gladbachers went into the new season with Polanski as the already ailing coach, despite considerable doubts in the environment and in parts of the supervisory board. At Seoane, the then sports director Roland Virkus made the decision. Shortly afterwards he too had to take his hat off.
