Gladbach turn to Blessin in bid to escape Bundesliga relegation fight

Borussia Moenchengladbach have made a managerial change in a bid to salvage their season after a torrid beginning to the campaign. Alexander Blessin has taken the helm at the Bundesliga basement side, tasked with pulling the club away from the relegation zone.

The appointment comes after the club's disappointing start that has seen them lose four consecutive league matches. With points already at a premium in their bid to compete in Germany's top division, Gladbach moved swiftly to replace their previous manager in hopes of stabilizing their defence and finding attacking rhythm.

Blessin takes over a squad that faces an uphill battle to climb the table in the coming weeks. The club will be hoping the change of direction can spark an immediate improvement in results and restore confidence among players and supporters alike.
