Borussia Mönchengladbach is urgently searching for a new head coach. The club dismissed Eugen Polanski and is now prepared to take a financial risk running into millions to secure the right successor.
The search is running at full speed. Information from within the club's sphere indicates a new coach profile is being discussed to meet the demands of the current situation. Gladbach finds itself in a difficult period. After three matchdays, the team sits in 17th place with zero points, having lost all three of its opening Bundesliga fixtures. The recent 5-0 defeat away to SC Freiburg highlighted the need for action.
The sporting situation makes the appointment of a new manager particularly urgent. The next matchday brings another challenge with a home game against eighth-placed FSV Mainz 05 on September 19. The recent form over the last five competitive matches shows two wins and three defeats, with the last three encounters all lost. The club's decision-makers aim to initiate a turnaround with new leadership.
The financial resources for an ambitious solution are said to be available. The club has signalled its readiness to make the necessary investments to appoint a suitable candidate. A precise timeline for the presentation of a new coach has not yet been communicated. Preparations for the key home match against Mainz continue in parallel. The current squad and injury list can be viewed on the club's site. The full fixtures overview shows the remainder of the season.
