Lichte aims for early points with Gladbach before international break

Jan-Moritz Lichte is set to take charge of Borussia Mönchengladbach with one clear objective: to earn points. As kicker reports, the interim boss knows that this is his fourth attempt to bring something tangible, and it comes right before the club plans to present a new coach during the international break.

Focus on mistakes and belief

Lichte’s approach, according to the German outlet, places special emphasis on two things: avoiding errors and building belief. The message is straightforward—make fewer mistakes and make sure the team believes in what it’s trying to do when it matters.

Because Lichte’s spell is temporary, what happens in these “90 minutes” could influence how the squad arrives at the moment of the managerial change. A positive result would give the next coaching decision a steadier platform; a lack of points would likely push the need for change even further.

Pressure with the next hire coming

The fact that the club is already preparing to introduce a new manager during the break adds extra weight to this period. With little room to manoeuvre, the interim plan—reduce mistakes and increase conviction—lands with the full pressure of trying to turn things around before the stop in action, as kicker underlines.
