(Reuters) -Borussia Moenchengladbach have fired manager Gerardo Seoane, the Bundesliga club said on Monday, after the German side failed to score in three league games this season, culminating in a 4-0 home loss to Werder Bremen.

Gladbach are 16th in the standings on one point, their poor run extending to 10 league games without a win including last season.

"After an intensive review of our start to the season, we have come to the conclusion that we have to make a change in the position of head coach," Gladbach Sporting Director Roland Virkus said in a statement.

"After 10 Bundesliga games without a win, we have lost faith that the turnaround with Gerardo can succeed."

Swiss Seoane, who took charge of the five-times Bundesliga champions in 2023, will be replaced on a temporary basis by Gladbach's Under-23 coach Eugen Polanski.
