On Saturday afternoon, the Bundesliga club confirmed the commitment of the 45-year-old, who is taking over from Adi Hütter, who was on leave after the end of the season. Farke has signed a contract that runs until 2025.
“In Daniel Farke, we were able to sign a coach who fits exactly the path we want to take”, said Borussia’s sporting director Roland Virkus in a club statement. Farke is bringing the two assistant coaches Christopher John and Edmund Riemer to Mönchengladbach.
Farke has twice guided Norwich to the Premier League
Farke had worked his way through Norwich City made a name for himself, twice leading the club into English premier league. Most recently he was hired by FK Krasnodar in Russia, but left the job after a short time because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
In fact, Favre’s commitment as Adi Hütter’s successor was already considered almost certain in Gladbach. However, at Borussia’s general meeting on Monday evening, head of sport Roland Virkus announced: “You can be sure that we have done everything for it. But he told us that he has the rhombus in his heart, but doesn’t want to work in Germany again.“
