Interim coach
The club's sporting director, Rouven Schröder, said that despite good pre-season preparations and some positive signs, the team did not achieve the results expected in the Bundesliga. According to him, the recent performances prompted the decision to change the coach immediately.
Polanski, who had previously played for Borussia Mönchengladbach's youth and first teams for a long time, took charge of the club in September 2025. Former Mainz 05 coach Jan-Moritz Lichte will serve as interim head coach.
