Trainers Augsburg and Mönchengladbach announce departure

Bundesliga clubs FC Augsburg and Borussia Mönchengladbach both have to look for a new coach for the new season. Jeffrey Gouweleeuw’s coach at Augsburg, Markus Weinzierl, announced his decision to his players and later to the media immediately after the game with SpVgg Greuther Fürth (2-1 win).

Stefan Reuter, manager at Augsburg, was not yet aware of his trainer’s departure. Weinzierl seemed to point out that his relationship with Reuter was not good. “The base is missing,” the trainer told TV channel Sky about his departure. “It is clear that people want more. That it is always the task to end up above your budget, above your means.” Augsburg finished fourteenth. Weinzierl’s contract expired.

Mönchengladbach won 5-1 against Hoffenheim but finished in a disappointing tenth place. The club and trainer Adi Hütter both announced shortly after the game that the collaboration will end after a year. Hütter still had a contract until 2024. “We have agreed to go our own way,” the trainer told Sky.
