There is a bloodbath in Borussia Mönchengladbach, Jens Kastrov's team.

Mönchengladbach said on his official website on the 30th (Korea Standard Time) 'Borussia Mönchengladbach's presidency and supervisory board dismissed him from his duties at the request of Roland Birkers, director of sports' announced. General director Birchus "I've always said that clubs come first and foremost. So I made this decision" and explained the reason why I came down from my seat.

Reiner Bonhoff, president of the club, said "We agreed that we wanted to take a different approach in setting the direction of the club's future sports. This decision has never been easy for Birchus. He accepts the club as life itself and took over as general director in February 2022 in a very difficult situation. I appreciate his dedication. "I have worked for our club in various positions for over 30 years, and I will always be remembered by Munich Glatbach..." he said, explaining that the dismissal of Birchus's general director was a really difficult decision.

As Chairman Bonhoff said, Birchus is a man who has worked at Mönchengladbach all his life. Birchus began his career as a youth coach in 1990 in Borussia, where he coached from under-15 youth teams to under-19 youth teams for the next 18 years. In 2004, he served as youth academy director and established a new system at Borussia Park with Max Eberle, then academy director. In 2008, he was promoted to full academy director, and in 2022 he was appointed director of sports.

Mönchengladbach also said goodbye 'We would like to express our gratitude to Birchus General Director for his dedication and efforts in various fields over the past 35 years.

Mönchengladbach's atmosphere is unusual in many ways. Mönchengladbach, one of the prestigious Bundesliga teams, is on the verge of relegation from the 2023-2024 season. In the midst of the team's line injury, he managed to remain in the Bundesliga by one point.

Last season, he rebounded to 10th place in the league, but suddenly suffered a slump from the end of the league. Originally, the performance was enough to aim to advance to the European competition, but the last-minute slump was fatal. This season, when Kastrov joined, he replaced manager Herard Ceoane after three league games. The cause was a serious slump in the league since the end of last season.

After replacing coach Seoane, Eugen Polanski, who was in charge of the 23-year-old team, was appointed as an acting coach, but there was no victory for two consecutive games. It is the 12th consecutive league winless game, including last season. In the end, even the general director of Birchus offered to take responsibility for himself.

Since becoming Polanski's acting system, Kastrov has been playing well under the influence of the team, but it is too bad to be shaken inside and outside the club. The team is last in the league. At this rate, it will be a relegation competition again. Mönchengladbach is drifting away as even the general director leaves on his own without a proper appointment of a formal director.
