Gladbach Still Smarting

DW staff / AFP (jam)November 19, 2006

Jupp Heynckes' second spell in charge of fallen German giants Borussia Mönchengladbach continues to be far from smooth with his side falling to a 1-0 defeat to Hanover 96 on Sunday.

Heynckes is a hero having won the title four times with Gladbach in the 1970s - the club's golden era - but the fans are growing restless after a poor start to the campaign.

Hanno Balitsch scored in the 50th minute to condemn Gladbach to a painful home defeat and the club languish fifth from bottom.

Hanover surge out of the bottom three with the victory and are level on points with Gladbach.
