Overview
- The club announced on Wednesday that Eugen Polanski will remain head coach for 2026/27 after an extended season review but that the choice is not meant to preserve the status quo.
- Sport director Rouven Schröder said the club will build a new coaching team around Polanski to bring external input and more training content for the first‑time Bundesliga head coach.
- Gladbach plans a clear tactical shift toward a four‑man back line and a more offensive style of play as part of wider changes to how the team approaches matches.
- The club has already confirmed three summer signings and expects at least two more arrivals while also saying the squad will be slimmed down; sport coordinator David Zibung will leave the club.
- Polanski, who took over on 15 September 2025 and guided Gladbach to Bundesliga survival in a 12th‑place finish, remains under contract until 2028 and will begin public training on 12 July before a Tegernsee camp from 2 August.
