Gladbach’s new sporting director set to shape plans with coach Polanski | OneFootball

These are chaotic times at Borussia Mönchengladbach. The league table points to a relegation battle, the injury situation among the players is anything but rosy, and on top of that, the sporting director and head coach need to be replaced. At least for the former, it seems they have now found a new appointment in Rouven Schröder.

The 49-year-old most recently served as managing director of sport at RB Salzburg and, by all appearances, is being bought out of his contract by Borussia. According to Bild, the Austrians are demanding up to 1.5 million euros.

Many Borussia fans are now wondering what Schröder’s arrival means for Eugen Polanski. The interim coach has been on the touchline for three games—does Schröder’s arrival spell his end?

According to Bild reports, the interim coach is to remain in his post under Schröder for the time being! This demand was reportedly even part of the negotiations between Schröder and the Gladbach bosses.

Schröder himself is said to have agreed to this concession relatively quickly, likely also so that he wouldn’t have the Borussia fans against him even before taking office.
