Overview

• Sky and Bild, cited by Ran, report that Borussia Mönchengladbach is working to recruit Rouven Schröder as Roland Virkus’s successor.
• DerWesten reports intensive talks and says Schröder is interested in the role, though no agreement has been announced by the clubs.
• Schröder took over as managing director of sport at RB Salzburg in December 2024 after moving from RB Leipzig and holds a deal running to 2028.
• A release would likely require compensation to Salzburg, and DerWesten notes Gladbach’s finances could complicate negotiations.
• The position opened after Virkus resigned following a poor start to the season, having earlier dismissed coach Gerardo Seoane and installed Eugen Polanski on an interim basis.
