Borussia could take a deep breath last Saturday.

After seven competitive defeats in a row, Gladbach won 3-0 at bottom of the table Schalke.

The sovereign victory has made the debate about Marco Rose somewhat explosive.

Since the coach announced that he would move to BVB next summer, things have not been going on in Gladbach.

Despite the violent criticism of Rose from the fans and the sporting crisis, manager Max Eberl stuck to his trainer.

He repeatedly emphasizes that Gladbach will end the season with Rose despite being out of the Cup and the Champions League. 

Of course, the club is already working on a successor for Rose.

Most recently there was a rumor that Gladbach wanted to sign Zsolt Löw.

The Hungarian is currently assistant coach under Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea FC.

“Löw sounds good, yes.

But we don't comment on names, ”said Eberl.

A commitment from Löw seems very unlikely.

It is much more realistic that a former world star will sit on the bench in Gladbach in the coming season.

According to information from "Bild", Borussia is interested in Xabi Alonso.

The world and European champion ended his active career in 2017.

The Spaniard played for Real Madrid, Liverpool and Bayern.

Eberl is silent

After the end of his career, he returned to Madrid from Munich, where he started as a youth coach at Real.

The 39-year-old has been coaching Real Sociedad's second team in the Spanish third division since last season.

His contract ends next summer.

One advantage of Alonso is that, in addition to Spanish and English, he also speaks German because of his three years with Bayern.

From this time (2014 - 2017) Alonso also knows the way of playing and the mentality of the Bundesliga well.

Eberl did not want to comment on the report on Alonso's commitment.
