It was a decision that had been anticipated due to Borussia’s recent positive trajectory. Borussia Mönchengladbach has now formally confirmed the extension of interim coach Eugen Polanski’s contract until 2028, elevating him to the position of head coach!
Polanski, 39, took over from Gerardo Seoane in mid-September and has since revitalized the team, leading to three consecutive competitive victories, including a crucial derby win.

“We are delighted to have reached an agreement with Eugen through open, constructive, and respectful discussions. He has impressed us with both his expertise and character right from the start, and we are confident that we can continue to build on the positive momentum of recent weeks with him at the helm,” stated Rouven Schröder on the club’s website.
Polanski expressed his enthusiasm, saying: “I have never concealed how much this role at my hometown club means to me. Being the head coach at Borussia is a source of immense joy and pride for me. The confidence shown by the management is a significant motivator and a testament to the hard work of the entire team.”
A true Gladbach native, the 39-year-old progressed through the youth academy, became a Bundesliga player with VfL, and has been coaching at Borussia since 2019.
