A former Polish international who played under Nagelsmann at Hoffenheim, he has currently been manager of Borussia Mönchengladbach since July 2022. He recently confided that it was thanks to the former Bayern Munich coach that he decided to retrain as a coach.

“In the last two and a half years at Hoffenheim I had the great fortune to work with probably one of the best coaches in Germany. He bugged me for a year and a half and told me to get coaching licenses”he revealed in the FohlenPodcast.

Polanski, under contract with the Fohlen until June 2026, is determined to succeed in his transition. “I’m trying to make this transition from former player to good coach “, he added.
