Borussia Mönchengladbach Appoints Eugen Polanski as Interim Coach for First Team
Borussia Mönchengladbach has made a surprising move in response to a disappointing start in the Bundesliga season, appointing Eugen Polanski as the interim head coach for the first team. Polanski, who has been the coach of the reserve team since summer 2022, is also the interim coach of the first team as of September 2025.
Polanski's appointment comes after the departure of Gerardo Seoane, who had to leave the club with immediate effect. The new interim coach has a long history with Borussia Mönchengladbach, joining the youth performance center at the age of 15 in 2001. He worked as a player for the club until 2008 and later returned as a scout and coach in 2019.
Polanski has been instrumental in shaping the Borussia Mönchengladbach U23 team according to his vision. Under his leadership, the team was considered one of the hot favorites for promotion to the third Bundesliga before the season started. However, the U23 team has suffered a setback with Polanski's departure, as they recently experienced a 1:2 defeat in their derby against Cologne. This defeat was their second in the current Regionalliga West season.
The absence of Polanski from the U23 team is unfortunate, but the club needs to complete its coaching search for the U23 team as soon as possible. In the meantime, Sascha Eickel is serving as an interim head coach for Borussia Mönchengladbach U23, replacing Polanski.
Polanski's contract extension at the beginning of 2024 indicates that he has more than earned the title of a 'Borussia through and through' at Borussia Mönchengladbach. It remains to be seen how long Borussia Mönchengladbach U23 will have to do without Polanski, but one thing is clear: the club is in good hands with the experienced interim coach.
As for the first team, Polanski's clear mission as a coach will be to turn things around and secure a place in the top half of the Bundesliga table. The club's decisions regarding Polanski's future as coach of the first team will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike.
