🤯 After Polanski’s exit: will a former Gladbach man return as coach? | OneFootball

The pressure is mounting on Borussia Mönchengladbach’s interim coach Eugen Polanski. Should Gladbach lose again tonight in the DFB-Pokal against SC Karlsruhe, it will be hard for the club’s management to justify keeping the coach in his position—especially with the important upcoming derby against 1. FC Köln looming.

On ‘Doppelpass’ on Sport1 last weekend, there was also an intense discussion about the Gladbach coaching situation. During the show, viewers suggested some interesting new names for the position.

Among others, the Gladbach leadership around Rouven Schröder was advised to consider the two former Foals, Lothar Matthäus or Stefan Effenberg.

The latter, who was present as a guest on ‘Doppelpass’, immediately responded to the coaching inquiry: The 57-year-old, who has not worked as a coach since his dismissal from SC Paderborn nearly ten years ago, put his hands over his face and replied with a grin: “I feel very comfortable here.”

Even before that, Effenberg stood behind Polanski, arguing against yet another coaching change: “That, of course, would not be good, not even for the team. It always brings unrest. You’ve already lost the first coach, you’ve lost Roland Virkus…”

Will Gladbach manage a turnaround against Karlsruhe tonight? Let us know in the comments.
