"Despite a good pre-season and some encouraging signs, the team haven't ​been able to get the results ​we were looking for in the Bundesliga," said Gladbach ‌Head ⁠of Sports Rouven Schroeder in a statement. "Our recent performances ultimately led us to the conclusion that a change was needed, ​and we ​have ⁠therefore relieved Eugen of his duties with immediate effect."

Gladbach lost their ​season opener against RB Leipzig ​3-0 ⁠before conceding three second-half goals to lose 4-3 to promoted Elversberg a week later.

Former ⁠Mainz ​05 coach Jan-Moritz Lichte ​will take charge of the team on an interim ​basis.
