Bayer Leverkusen has already separated from his trainer. The pressure on the chief coach also grows a few kilometers away.
Gladbach’s sports manager Roland Virkus has reacted to the question of the future of coach Gerardo Seoane after the 0: 4 against Werder Bremen. “I understand the questions. But please see that at the moment, after such a game, I have to see what the reasons were. Therefore you will not get the question from me now as you might want,” said Virkus.
Borussia had also stayed without a goal in the third game of the season, Gladbach has been without a win for ten encounters. “The disappointment is deep,” said Virkus after the highest home defeat since December 5, 2021 (0: 6 against SC Freiburg): “Despite all of this, it is my job to discuss the whole thing factually, certainly not sleep today. One night over it – and then you have to look.”
Worse than with one point and 0: 5 goals, the Borussia in 58 years of the Bundesliga was only there in the 2015/16 season (0 points, 2: 8 goals) after three match days. “This is difficult to explain, I have to honestly say. I am deeply disappointed. You have to see now: where is the main problem? And of course you have to work up with the team and together with the coach and take it off as quickly as possible,” says Virkus.
Virkus had understanding for the whistles of the fans. “It is clear that the fans express their displeasure, I can completely understand that,” he said.
Seoane himself also spoke of a great disappointment. “The blow feels the same for everyone – for fans, players and employees. It is important to process this setback,” said the Swiss.
