ROME (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Following the crushing 5-0 defeat suffered by Mönchengladbach at Freiburg, the German club—currently bottom of the Bundesliga with zero points after three matchdays (having scored three goals and conceded twelve)—announced this morning the dismissal of head coach Eugen Polanski. A product of the club’s youth system, the 40-year-old former midfielder—whose contract ran until 2028—had taken charge of the team in September 2025, successfully steering them to safety last season (finishing 12th). His assistant, Tobias Trulsen, has also been relieved of his duties.
“Despite a solid pre-season and encouraging signs, the team has failed to achieve the desired results in the Bundesliga,” stated Gladbach sporting director Rouven Schröder. “Recent performances led us to conclude that a change was necessary; we have therefore relieved Eugen of his duties with immediate effect.” Jan-Moritz Lichte (46), the former Mainz coach, will lead the team on an interim basis while the club searches for a new head coach.
