“We are very dissatisfied with the way the season has gone since the World Cup break and we need to push ahead with the restructuring of the squad. Daniel Farke has shown in the past that he can master such a challenge.”Roland Virkus recently indicated that Borussia Mönchengladbach will not make any changes to the coaching position.
And indeed: according to ‘Sport Bild’, the decision has now been made. Daniel Farke will also be in charge of Borussia in the coming season. And that despite the fact that the trainer is only one point better with 39 points from 31 games than his much-criticized predecessor Adi Hütter.
However, Farke’s ball-possession game idea fits the Gladbach squad better than Hütter’s hit-and-run football. Virkus has now made it his mission to give his coach more time to develop. This will be difficult enough, as top performers such as Ramy Bensebaini and Marcus Thuram will leave on a free transfer in the summer.
