After the failed start with just one point from three games and across the season ten Bundesliga games without a win and five duels without a goal, Borussia Mönchengladbach separated from coach Gerardo Seoane. This is the result of an hour -long crisis meeting on Monday, as the foals confirmed. Until further notice, U23 coach Eugen Polanski takes over the team.
“After an intensive review of our season start, we were convinced that we have to change the position of the head coach,” said sports director Roland Virkus. “After ten Bundesliga games without victory, we fell for us that the change with Gerardo can succeed.”
After the devastating 0: 4 on Sunday against Neither Bremen, Seoane had headed on Monday morning and player set training. In the afternoon, the foal professionals are said to have been informed about the decision. According to the “Bild”, Seoane has personally said goodbye to his protégés on the phone. In 78 games, the team under the direction of the Swiss scored an average of 1.22 points.
“Gerardo took over the team in a difficult situation, went on the path of the club, pushed the team’s development process and stabilized it. However, the end of the season was not the way we imagined, and the start of this season was also not. Rainer Bonhof.
