With the announced contract extension until 2026, sports director Max Eberl has secured a four-week break with Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach.
The 47-year-old said this at a press conference on Monday.
“I asked that I could take four weeks off in January,” said Eberl, who will also be absent from Gladbach's games during this time.
At the six Bundesliga games in January, “I won't be there,” says Eberl, “just to get a little peace and quiet for me, Max Eberl, to do something for myself, to get away from football.” In 16 years at Borussia “I could never, really never switch off.
When I was on vacation I was on the phone more than anything ”.
Nevertheless, he will of course maintain contact with his coach Marco Rose during this time.
The Gladbach coach, who has a contract on the Lower Rhine until 2022, is a candidate for the head coach position at Borussia Dortmund.
“It is our wish to continue working with Marco.
But there is no time window now.
But Marco knows very well that we are now in a situation in which one has to be clear.
We have it because Marco has a contract until 2022, ”emphasized Eberl.

"Of course we will talk and also make decisions, but calmly and with serenity," said Eberl.
Rose herself didn't want to comment on this.
“I kept saying that I didn't open the speculation, why should I comment on it?
With everything I have, I am the coach of Borussia Mönchengladbach. "
