Eugen Polanski to temporarily lead Borussia M, well aware of Ranos’s strengths

After the dismissal of Gerardo Seoane as head coach of Borussia Mönchengladbach, the club entrusted the managerial duties to Eugen Polanski. The 39-year-old specialist, who previously worked with the Foals’ reserve team, will temporarily guide the first squad.

Polanski is well acquainted with Armenian national team striker Grant-Leon Ranos. Under his guidance, the forward played 12 matches for the U23 side, scoring 6 goals and providing 6 assists. Now the question arises: how much playing time will the new interim head coach be willing to give Ranos in the Bundesliga?

Back in 2023, Polanski highly praised the qualities of the Armenian striker:

“In the mind of a player who isn’t part of the Bundesliga squad, there is always something going on. It’s important that disappointment transforms into positive energy – and he showed that in the last few games. Only in this way can he improve his game and progress in his career.
Grant is a player who positions himself well between the lines. He sees space, has a good long-range shot, and of course, played an important role on Saturday. I’m sure this is vital for a striker. Every goal helps.”

The upcoming matches will show whether Polanski can change the situation in the club and what role Ranos will have in his plans.
