“We are very pleased to have been able to reach an agreement with Eugen in open, constructive and appreciative conversations.

Polanski also shows visible enthusiasm: “I have never hidden what this position in my hometown club means to me. Being the coach of Borussia gives me immense joy and fills me with pride. The trust of the management is a great incentive and a confirmation of the work of the entire team.”
