Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Resurgence Under Coach Eugen Polanski

omidbasir- After a challenging start to the 2025/26 Bundesliga season, where Borussia Mönchengladbach failed to secure a victory in their first eight matches, the team is now experiencing a revival under new head coach Eugen Polanski. Heading into their Matchday 12 clash against RB Leipzig, the Foals arrive with the momentum of three consecutive wins.

In anticipation of Friday night’s match, Polanski acknowledges the formidable challenge posed by Leipzig, who currently sit second in the league table. “Leipzig has been exceptional this season, particularly since their opening game, so we are preparing to face a very tough opponent,” the 39-year-old remarked.

Polanski is optimistic about his team’s current performance and emphasizes the need for continued growth against strong rivals. “While we recognize the necessity to take the next step against a team like Leipzig, my goal is to ensure we keep progressing positively, regardless of the opponent. We aim to build on our recent successes without becoming complacent. We know our potential, and we are ready to compete against top-tier teams.”

It is noteworthy that Borussia Mönchengladbach has not celebrated three consecutive Bundesliga victories since the conclusion of the 2019/20 season. However, under Polanski’s leadership, there is a palpable sense of enthusiasm within the squad.

“The camaraderie and team spirit are remarkably positive at this moment, creating a vibrant atmosphere throughout the club,” Polanski added. “My responsibility is to maintain this upward trajectory, understanding that our recent success is a result of hard work. We remain committed to striving for improvement.”

“If we sustain this commitment, we will position ourselves favorably for future achievements.”
