Lucien Favre will not become a coach at Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach.

'You can be sure that we've done everything we can to make it happen.

But he told us that he has the diamond in his heart but doesn't want to work in Germany again," said sporting director Roland Virkus at the club's general meeting on Monday evening.

"I don't think Lucien Favre will be a coach at Borussia Mönchengladbach for the next two years."

Favre, who coached Borussia between 2011 and 2015, initially saved them from relegation and led them to the Champions League, was already considered a future Gladbach coach after the separation from Adi Hütter, according to media reports.

The official confirmation dragged on.

Virkus said nothing about the reasons for the cancellation.

Favre has been without a club since his leave of absence from Borussia Dortmund at the end of 2020.

The Bundesliga club has to restart its search for a coach.

Virkus asked for patience in his annual report.

“I don't want to put the brakes on euphoria.

But we haven't made good decisions in the past,” Virkus said.

"Unfortunately I can't tell you more about that."

Financially, too, there was no good news for the members.

For the second time in a row, Borussia recorded a double-digit million loss.

In the past financial year 2021, the loss was 14.6 million euros, mainly due to corona.
