STATUS: OFFICIAL — Borussia Mönchengladbach announced on Sunday, September 13, 2026, that coach Eugen Polanski had been dismissed following a pointless start to the Bundesliga season.\n\nThe decision arrived one day after a 5-0 defeat by Freiburg left the team bottom of the table with three losses from their first three league matches. The club no longer treated the run as a temporary stumble and ended the coach’s tenure.\n\nPolanski had taken charge in September 2025 after a long association with Gladbach as both a player and a coach within the club’s structure. His return to a central role did not deliver the stability required at the start of the 2026-27 campaign.\n\nNo successor had been officially announced at publication time. Any names circulating without a club statement are not presented as reported talks or a completed appointment.\n\nSOURCE — Reuters, September 13, 2026: https://www.reuters.com/sports/soccer/gladbach-sack-coach-polanski-after-losing-bundesliga-start-2026-09-13/
