Jens Castrov is having a difficult Bundesliga debut season.
Kastrov's team Borussia Mönchengladbach lost 4-6 in the fifth round of the German Bundesliga in the 2025-2026 season against Einracht Frankfurt at Borussia Park in Mönchengladbach, Germany on the 28th (Korea time). Mönchengladbach, who has not won a single game since the start of the league, has fallen to the bottom of the league.
Although it was defeated by two goals, it was the worst first half of Mönchengladbach's club history. Mönchengladbach, who has been operating under acting Eugen Polanski since the dismissal of coach Herard Ceoane, allowed as many as six runs in the first half alone. It was the worst 45 minutes that fans watching the game could fully understand even if they ran out of the stadium.
However, Kastrov, Korea's first foreign-born mixed-race player, changed the atmosphere of the stadium. Castrov scored a comeback with a brilliant header in the 27th minute of the second half. It was Castrov's Bundesliga debut goal, but he couldn't even celebrate in a 1-6 situation. After Kastrov's score, Mönchengladbach came to his senses and showed a huge chase, but the time was far from enough.
It is true that he set the stage for a turnaround in the second half, but the professional world is the result. Mönchengladbach has not won 12 consecutive Bundesliga games, including league games last season. It has four draws and eight losses in 12 league games. It is still too early to discuss relegation, but the situation in Mönchengladbach is really not good.
The team's leadership is in a position to give Polanski more opportunities, but it has not changed much under Polanski. Castrov is being trusted by Polanski and is starting for two consecutive games, but if the team's performance falls like this, the player will naturally be adversely affected. It is a castrope that is expected to fight for relegation from the Bundesliga's debut season.
Even worse news is that the head coach Mönchengladbach is considering is Raul Gonzalez. Germany's Sport Bild said on the 29th that there was already a very interesting situation immediately after coach Séoane was replaced. There was a famous figure who could immediately step up for the Mönchengladbach job. It's Raul, the legend of Real. Raul's name was conveyed to Mönchengladbach's side by his agent Hines Carvajal, saying Raul made a counter-offer to Mönchengladbach.
Raul is a great figure in terms of his name. Because he is a legendary player of Real Madrid and Spain. However, his ability as a coach has not been verified. After retiring, Raul began his leadership career in his home town of Real. Raul, who has led the Real Youth Team since 2019.
However, there has been no clear achievement in the past six years. He is a coach who leads the world's best team prospects but does not perform well, so even for Real fans, his reputation as a leader is not good. I've had a few first team offers in six years, but Raul didn't go to either team. We appointed a coach who had no experience in leading the first teamFine Mönchengladbach could fall into the depths of more evil. If the coach fails to appoint now, Mönchengladbach and Castrov are likely to fall to Bundesliga 2 next season.
