"Too many negatives had piled up for sporting chief Roland Virkus and the club's other decision makers to gloss over. Now it's no wins in ten league matches going back to last season, not a single goal in five top-flight games and the knowledge that after pushing strongly for Europe, die Fohlen (the foals) could barely get past trotting mode during a miserable Endspurt (final phase) last term that saw them fall to a disappointing tenth. The football was generally flaccid and uninspiring."
"We genuinely can't say just a few days on from the unsurprising departure of Gerardo Seoane, who became the second Bundesliga coach to be removed from his position already this season after Erik ten Hag down the road at Bayer Leverkusen. The Swiss tactician was on decidedly shaky ground going into Sunday's ill-fated 4-0 home Packung (thrashing) at the hands of Werder Bremen."
"So Virkus and his team were responsible for the acquisition of Reyna, and you can understand why it was an attractive move for both parties. The United States international needed a new stage to kickstart his career, and it helps your life and football needs when you can move from one Borussia to another, making a fairly short hop along the Autobahn with the added bonus that a close American friend -- Joe Scally -- is firmly ensconced in the Niederrhein (lower Rhine)."
Gerardo Seoane was sacked after a 4-0 home thrashing by Werder Bremen capped a run of no wins in ten league matches and no goals in five, exposing a flaccid, uninspiring squad that finished tenth last season. Sporting director Roland Virkus and his staff planned and executed the signing of Gio Reyna to provide the United States international with a fresh stage to kickstart his career. The short move between Borussia clubs and the presence of compatriot Joe Scally ease adaptation. Borussia Mönchengladbach's philosophy favors a creative Spielmacher, but the immediate coaching change introduces uncertainty about Reyna's prospects.
