Gladbach candidate Favre rejected higher offers from Saudi Arabia

Execution at Borussia is dragging on

According to a report, coach Lucien Favre should consider whether he prefers a move to Saudi Arabia to the expected commitment to Borussia Mönchengladbach. According to information from thesports picture“The former “foal” coach, who is to succeed Adi Hütter at VfL, has a very lucrative offer from nine-time champion Al-Nassr Riyadh.

Update 3:50 p.m .: According to information from “Sky” reporter Florian Plettenberg, the offer from Saudi Arabia is already off the table or Favre has already rejected it. Instead, the contract with Borussia has already been worked out. The only thing that is still being discussed is the staff.

According to the magazine, it is about an annual salary of the equivalent of 5 million euros (Plettenberg later named an amount of 7 million euros net). How much Favre could expect from the Bundesliga club is not entirely clear. However, the report puts the previous salary of Hütters, who failed in Gladbach, at around 3 million euros a year, which is already very high by Borussia standards. Favre, on the other hand, emphasized in an interview with the “Tagesanzeiger” in Switzerland: “Money is really not my motivation. Otherwise I would have accepted incredible offers from the Gulf States long ago. I know what I want. Build something, a group that can carry my ideas.”

Gladbach is said to have long since decided on Favre. The Swiss was already in charge of the Borussia team between 2011 and 2015, brought the team from the relegation zone late in 2010/11 and only a year later found himself in a European Cup place. He left Borussia on his own after the start of the 2015/16 season failed with six defeats in competitive games. Speculations about Favre and Gladbach have been going on for a few weeks now. Recently, for example, the “image” assumed the trainer’s presentation last Sunday.
