“What if it still doesn’t work?” Podcast host Anne Hilt asks this question in the current edition of the “Bundesliga Update”. Sportschau reporter Luise Kropff already saw initial progress from Gladbach in the game in Berlin. The beginnings are there, but there are still huge problems on the defensive.
Even after his return, Tim Kleindienst will not be able to provide primary help there. However, goals conceded might be less serious if the Gladbachers score more often at the front. The question is also: Who will be on the Foals’ sidelines during Kleindienst’s comeback? Eugen Polanski initially took over as interim coach after Gerardo Seoane was fired. Since the fourth matchday, Borussia has picked up two points from four games.
Polanski initially receives support from the club. Rouven Schröder, the new sports director, gives the impression that he is giving Eugen Polanski more time. Anne Hilt actually sees now as a good time for a coaching change because expectations will probably be relatively low before the game against Bayern next weekend. But who should do it?
Luise Kropff throws the name “Daniel Thioune” into the room. He was released from Fortuna Düsseldorf two weeks ago because the second division team was not satisfied with the points they had scored. After the first game of successor Markus beginning (1:2 against Braunschweig), Fortuna is in 13th place with 10 points after 9 match days.
Bochum shows how it can work
VfL Bochum has also already had a coaching change. After the rough start under Dieter Hecking, David Siebers took over as interim coach, but was unable to stop the negative trend. Uwe Rösler has been there since the international break and celebrated his first win with the Bochum team this weekend – including a photo of the winner after the final whistle. That is also the topic of the current episode.
