Overview
- Borussia Mönchengladbach announced the death of Gerd vom Bruch and has received public tributes from former players and the club.
- Vom Bruch stepped up from co‑trainer to head coach in November 1989 and secured Bundesliga survival that season as the team finished 15th.
- He left the Gladbach job after a poor start to the 1991/92 campaign when he was dismissed on the tenth matchday and later managed Wuppertaler SV, Alemannia Aachen and Rot‑Weiß Oberhausen.
- In 2000 he became a player agent, founding the agency Coaches and more that later merged with Roof, and he represented players such as Marcell Jansen, Marc‑André ter Stegen and Christoph Kramer.
- Long tied to the club, vom Bruch was a regular at Borussia‑Park and is remembered by clients like Marcell Jansen as a mentor and father‑figure whose work shaped high‑profile transfers and careers.
