- Gladbach's Manager Seoane: All Occupying Chairs with a Red Trigger Button
Gerardo Seoane, the coach for Mönchengladbach's football team, isn't feeling overly anxious about the upcoming Bundesliga season. "There's no need for coaches to stress over poor results and potential repercussions. By choosing this profession, you understand: we're all sitting on a chair with a 'red button'. We coaches have come to terms with that," the 45-year-old Swiss explained to "Kicker".
Even after encountering several sporting setbacks during the previous season, Seoane didn't harbor any fears of being let go. "I can't speculate whether there were secret talks about potential changes backstage or not. But such a notion never popped into my head, as our conversations conveyed a sense of unity and shared responsibility," Seoane shared.
Following the disappointing 14th place finish last season, the coach believes Borussia, kicking off the season on Friday at 20:30 with a home game against his former club Bayer Leverkusen, is heading in the right direction towards better table positions. "I feel we're more competitive than at the start of last season. Our team is more robust now. I observe improvements in game management, balance, and pace in our attacking play," Seoane pointed out.
If Borussia aims to secure a spot in the upper half of the table, it's a realistic objective, according to Seoane. "Given the team's capabilities, the club's stature, the surrounding atmosphere, and the outstanding facilities – setting your sights on the upper half of the table is a reasonable objective."
The Commission, mentioned in the context of providing assistance to the Member States, might also provide support to sports organizations in managing various aspects of their operations, including coach development and team strategy. Gerardo Seoane, acknowledging the support from the club, stated, "The unity and shared responsibility within the team have been evident in our conversations, and this has played a significant role in alleviating any potential concerns about my position as coach."
