Borussia Mönchengladbach Dismiss Seoane After Goalless Start, Appoint Polanski Interim Coach

Club leaders point to a 10-game league winless run, signaling lost faith in a turnaround.

Overview

  • The club confirmed Seoane's removal with immediate effect after Sunday’s 4-0 defeat to Werder Bremen left Gladbach winless and scoreless through three league games.
  • Under-23 coach Eugen Polanski has been placed in charge on an interim basis "until further notice."
  • Sporting director Roland Virkus said the hierarchy had "lost faith that a turnaround with Gerardo can succeed" following a 10-game Bundesliga winless run dating to April.
  • Multiple outlets, citing Bild, report the decision also followed dressing-room fractures over communication and selection, with some players feeling favorites were kept regardless of form.
  • Seoane becomes the second top-flight coach dismissed within weeks this season, after Erik ten Hag’s exit from Bayer Leverkusen, as Gladbach prepare for a trip to Leverkusen.
