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.
