“Slap in the face” – Hütter on Eberl’s resignation in Gladbach

Adi Hütter did not have an easy season at Borussia Mönchengladbach last year. Max Eberl’s resignation was an additional complication for the coach, as he now explained.

After his successful time at Adi Hütter, he was to continue his good work in Gladbach as the successor to Marco Rose in the 21/22 season. Instead, it was a difficult season in which Borussia even had to fight the threatening relegation battle at times.

In view of the now announced, Hütter explained Sky Sports Austriathat the manager’s resignation at the time also threw him off track.

Hütter: After Eberl-Aus it was “a difficult year”

The coach described his manager’s decision at the time to withdraw from the football business for health reasons as a “slap in the face”. While mental health naturally takes precedence, Hütter lost his most important work colleague and confidant.

The resignation took him so hard “because I had the feeling that I could uproot trees with him,” he recalled. The coach continues: “Then it was a difficult year. I also didn’t perform as it should.”

After all, Eberl was one of the reasons why Hütter decided to make his own move in the first place. He had informed him ahead of time about his thoughts of resigning, but in the end the step was just that blow. “Unfortunately, Max Eberl informed me at the end of September that he could no longer do this job,” revealed Hütter.
