In the end it was just a misunderstanding…
Daniel Farke (46) should Gladbach after the crash of the last few years (4th place in 2020, then 8th place, then 10th place) back into a better future. But this plan failed after only one year!
Borussia announced on Friday that after just one year and one again disappointing season (again only 10th place) from Farke (contract until 2025). This is the result of the almost two-day general analysis of the bosses.
The club bosses had been discussing Farke’s future since Thursday – in addition to the sporting leadership, the presidium around boss Rolf Königs (81) and vice Rainer Bonhof (71) were also debating. Now the decision!
Separation from Farke became apparent
The first doubts about Farke had already arisen during the World Cup break. After that, the club bosses around manager Roland Virkus (56) developed a tendency to fire the coach. As part of the 2: 5 against Dortmund, there were first rumors of a separation. According to BILD information, Farke is said to have collected plus points from the last two games (2-2 in Leverkusen, 2-0 in Augsburg) – but he couldn’t save his job with it.
According to BILD information, the coach argued against Virkus in the season analysis that he had achieved almost all of his goals. It is about a stable season without tremors (7th to 12th place), a good home record, good performances in derbies, a reduction in the number of goals conceded and an improvement in the away record.
Extremely unusual scene… Meaningful Bayern video appeared!
What the bosses chalk up to Farke: His football is not fun for the fans. He hasn’t really improved a single player, his team is one of the laziest in the league. The fact that Farke talks about bad games has also divided him with the fans. In the last two home games there were loud whistles against their own coach.
The tendency to do so has been devastating since the World Cup break: the coach only scored 21 points in 19 games. Another accusation, particularly serious in Gladbach: Farke ignored the many foal talents and did not really develop a single one of the many jewels (Oscar Fraulo, Yvandro Borges Sanches, Luca Netz, Joe Scally), on the contrary.
Gladbach is already targeting potential successors to Farke. Among other things, the former Leverkusen coach Gerardo Seoane (44) is under discussion, with the Swiss there is said to have been a first meeting. Ex-coach Lucien Favre (65), who surprisingly sat next to Königs in the stands against Augsburg, is definitely not an issue.
It’s clear: After Farke-Aus, Virkus also has to question himself. The plan to lead Gladbach into a successful future with the change of coach from Adi Hütter (53) to Farke failed despite a contract until 2025 after just one season.
