I'm nervous about our game tonight. Worst time to play the worst team in the league. Hope the players show some kind of a reaction.

Ridiculous. It's always the same trash German managers that get these jobs.

Why not go foreign? What's the problem? Most Millennials in Germany understand English and that includes footballers. I think there are many foreign managers who would be interested to work in the Bundesliga, just look at Guardiola and Ancelotti. Bayern is pretty much the only club who hires non-German managers.

Wow, that's a lazy choice. Don't really get what Eberl is thinking here.

Well, we need a quick fix and there isn't much to choose from right now.
Still don't like it but I've made that clear yesterday already.

As for the bold part:
Eh....

Also, before that our last foreign guy we brought in was Dick Advocaat and he was a sensational flop.
The only thing left of him is his brilliant quote of "Wir wollen Klassegehalt"(We want big wages) instead of "Wir wollen die Klasse halten"(We want to stay up). :lol:

He had years in the Bundesliga before he came to Gladbach.

A guy like Villas-Boas for example. But he is in China now. Bielsa etc. Someone like that.

Solid win to finish the year. 3rd place going into the new year, that's just insane.

Like I've said, the last time we did that was with Advocaat and he absolutely flopped.
We're also not in a situation were you could try stuff, while your mentioned Bayern guys are never in a situation like we are in right now.

I personally would've liked someone like Vanhaezebrouck(Gent) or even David Wagner(Huddersfield) but you never know if those guys are available and/or willing to leave their clubs at this point of the season.
Another guy mentioned was Marc Wilmots but he was crap managing the Belgians.

Gladbach signs Sevilla center back Timothée Kolodziejczak for about €7.5 mil.
Kolodziejczak is 25 years old, has already won two Europa League titels with Sevilla and can play both at CB and at LB.

We also introduced Dieter Hecking as the new manager today.
