Having taken over from Adi Hütter last summer, Farke managed the team for a total of 36 matches across various competitions. During his tenure, they secured 12 victories, drew 10 matches, and experienced 14 defeats.
Farke’s track record includes successfully guiding Norwich City to the Premier League on two occasions by clinching the second division title, but unfortunately, the team faced immediate relegation both times.
Although Farke had a contract with Gladbach until 2025, the club has not yet revealed any specifics regarding his successor.
However, German media reports suggest that Gerardo Seoane, the former manager of Bayer Leverkusen, is the frontrunner for the position. Nevertheless, other contenders such as Oliver Glasner, the outgoing Frankfurt manager, and Ralph Hasenhuettl, the former Southampton boss, are also in contention.
