Overview

• Roland Virkus stepped down Tuesday after roughly three and a half years as Borussia Mönchengladbach’s sporting director.
• Stefan Stegemann told Rheinische Post the priority is to appoint a new sporting leader, leaving the coaching decision open in the meantime.
• He added that if the search takes longer and the team shows positive developments, a trainer decision could be made sooner.
• U23 coach Eugen Polanski remains in interim charge following the dismissal of Gerardo Seoane two weeks earlier.
• The successor profile emphasizes media strength, strong self-confidence and a clear football philosophy, with no sweeping overhaul planned despite the team sitting last in the table.
