Overview

• Nils-Ole Book extended his contract with SV Elversberg, and the club did not disclose the new term.
• Book had been widely reported as a top contender to succeed Roland Virkus at Borussia Mönchengladbach.
• Book cited deep ties to Elversberg and a desire to keep shaping the club’s future in explaining his choice.
• SVE president Dominik Holzer praised Book’s impact and called the extension of the highest importance.
• Elversberg sits near the top of the 2. Bundesliga after missing promotion in a playoff against Heidenheim, and some reporting suggested limited transfer influence at Gladbach may have weighed on Book’s decision.
