Gladbach Sack Coach Polanski After Losing Bundesliga Start
Jan-Moritz Lichte takes over on an interim basis after Gladbach opened the league with three straight defeats, the club said.
- On Sunday, Borussia Mönchengladbach fired coach Eugen Polanski after starting the Bundesliga with three consecutive defeats, capped by Saturday's 5-0 loss at Freiburg that left the Foals anchored in last place.
- Gladbach's season unraveled with an opening 3-0 defeat at Leipzig followed by a 4-3 loss at home to promoted Elversberg, leaving the team winless and forcing the club to seek immediate change.
- Sporting director Rouven Schroeder stated, "Our recent performances ultimately led us to the conclusion that a change was needed." The club's only win this season was a 5-0 rout of fifth-tier Schott Mainz in the German Cup.
- The club dismissed assistant Tobias Trulsen and appointed former Mainz coach Jan-Moritz Lichte as interim head coach on Sunday to stabilize the squad after the staff overhaul.
- Polanski is the first Bundesliga head coach to lose his job this season. He had assumed the role in similar circumstances last year after Gerardo Seoane's dismissal, ultimately leading Gladbach to 12th place.
