Mönchengladbach.
Even the day after the shock resignation of head coach Lucien Favre fought the leadership of Bundesliga bottom Borussia Mönchengladbach yet to be replaced by: “We have also asked ourselves: What happened here? I knew when you wake up, but unfortunately, that all this is not a bad dream, but it’s also not a normal situation, “said sporting director Max Eberl the situation.
Less than 20 hours had expressed after the unexpected and against Team request declared resignation of Swiss savior, which led to a worsening of the misery when downed Champions League starter, passed. On his 42nd birthday liked Eberl, the architect of the previous Borussia upturn, make his personal disappointment with the failed attempts at persuasion no secret: “I am very, very sad. Sautraurig. “
Instead of initiating had Eberl two days before the home game of the still point-less Rhinelander against FC Augsburg (Wednesday / 20.00 clock) sweep a shambles. In one of the most precarious situations of recent club history of ex-pro hunt with an “emergency plan” to view nevertheless forward: As declared “transitional solution” initially assumes the former U23 coach André Schubert training the ex-master
<. p> “We could indeed now important not to lie in his arms, crying and remain in state of shock. The first impressions after Andrés first training with the team make you feel good. He Bock “it, Eberl said on the commitment of the former second division coach from SC Paderborn and FC St. Pauli.
The search for a new head coach want the Moenchengladbach, the last of their first five league games and had lost the Champions League first match, do not rush.
One knows Lucien Favre as understanding people. A Swiss holding that even in larger stress loses neither its peace nor its friendliness. Actually a totally balanced type.

Borussia Dortmund takes a” heritage “traded ex-coach Jürgen Klopp is, according to his adviser Mark Kosicke to Sport Bild, however, not available. The requirement profile is clearly loud Eberl: “The new coach must have his own way, but clearly fit our previous philosophy. Of this we do not back off. “
All mind games to a succession plan for Favre but were still overshadowed by guesswork about the motives of in the past on several occasions amt tired coaches. “All of us can continue to move only in the mythical kingdom of theses and pass that Lucien has not seen a solution and was dissatisfied. What was the central reason, I can not say, “said Eberl.
Unlike the self-confessed Favre fan Eberl criticized colleagues the 57-year-old coach to probably not conducive for the own reputation leaving the Confederates sharp .
“This has Lucien Favre not solved the problem, but made larger,” said, for example, Borussia icon and former national coach Berti Vogts to Rheinische Post.
Former championships coach Felix Magath condemned “Favre desertion” of the foals in his column at the Express, in the Hamburger Morgenpost and tz as “wrong” and “wrong way”. Favre, so Magath continued, have Mönchengladbach and not least Eberl “snubbed”
Wait for Schubert within a short time difficult tasks:. Three days after the encounter with Augsburg is the cellar duel at VfB Stuttgart in the program before in the next week before the international break first the English top team Manchester City (30 September), as well as cup winners and runners VfL Wolfsburg (October 3) give their business cards in the Borussia-Park.
