In the German Bundesliga championship, the club on the verge of relegation appointed Josa Luhukay as their new coach, who will replace Jupp Heynckes who lost his position a week ago.

"We have full confidence in Josa Luhukay and want to remain in the Bundesliga under his guidance," said "Gladbach" club sports director Peter Pander. - "Josa Luhukay has shown in his work with other teams that he is an excellent strategist and a person who can lead the club forward. We all know that we attracted a great person during the winter break and now we see how well the team can work with him at the helm."

J. Luhukay himself stated that he aims to keep the team in the highest German league.

"I am very pleased that I can lead this team and I will gladly accept this challenge," said the new coach.

The victory away against "Arminia" was the first away win for "Gladbach" since May 2006. By earning three points, the five-time German champions currently occupy the 16th place in the league.
