Gladbach Fires Eugen Polanski as Coach After Starting Bundesliga with 3 Defeats
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 the team started the Bundesliga with three defeats, including a 5-0 loss at Freiburg on Saturday that proved his final match in charge.
- Saturday's defeat followed a 4-3 home loss to promoted Elversberg and an opening 3-0 defeat at Leipzig, leaving Gladbach anchored in last place with only one win—a 5-0 rout of fifth-tier Schott Mainz in the German Cup.
- Sporting director Rouven Schroeder stated, "Our recent performances ultimately led us to the conclusion that a change was needed," citing the team's inability to translate pre-season promise into Bundesliga results.
- The club dismissed assistant coach Tobias Trulsen and named Jan-Moritz Lichte, former Mainz coach, as interim head coach on Sunday to lead the squad through the transition.
- Polanski is the first Bundesliga head coach dismissed this season; he previously replaced Gerardo Seoane last year and ultimately guided the team to 12th place after his interim status became permanent in November.
