🚨 Decision made: Gladbach put long-term faith in Polanski | OneFootball

It is a decision that had been hinted at due to Borussia's upward trend. Now Borussia Mönchengladbach has officially confirmed the extension of the contract with interim coach Eugen Polanski until 2028, thus promoting him to head coach of Borussia!

Only in mid-September did the 39-year-old take over the position from Gerardo Seoane and restore the Foals to their former strength. Recently, there have been three consecutive competitive victories, including the all-important derby win.

“We are very pleased that we were able to reach an agreement with Eugen in open, constructive, and appreciative discussions. He has impressed us from the start with his substantive and character qualities, and we are confident that we can continue the positive development of recent weeks with him as head coach,” Rouven Schröder is quoted on the club's homepage. 

Polanski also shows visible enthusiasm: “I have never hidden what this role at my hometown club means to me. Being the head coach at Borussia brings me immense joy and fills me with pride. The trust of the management is a great incentive and a confirmation of the entire team's work.”

The 39-year-old is a true Gladbach native: He went through the youth academy, became a Bundesliga professional at VfL, and has been working as a coach at Borussia since 2019.
