American Pellegrino Matarazzo reportedly a candidate to manage Gio Reyna and Joe Scally at Borussia Monchengladbach after club fires Gerardo Seoane

Winless in their opening three games, Borussia Monchengladbach fired manager Gerardo Seoane, the club announced Monday. The squad, which features two USMNT players - Gio Reyna and Joe Scally - is reportedly interested in another American, Pellegrino Matarazzo, as the replacement. Matarazzo was Hoffenheim's manager until the start of the 2024-25 season.

  • Matarazzo reportedly linked

    Matarazzo has been reported to be linked with the club, according to Tom Bogert and Kicker. Bogert reported that the 47-year-old has been considering his future and has been patiently waiting for his next opportunity.

    He has a 57-47-71 record as manager overall, leading both Stuttgart and Hoffenheim, and was linked with the U.S. national team job before Mauricio Pochettino's hiring last year.

    What his hiring could mean

    Scally has been a fixture at the club since his arrival in 2021, making 123 league appearances and being one of the Bundesliga's top right backs. Reyna made his debut for Gladbach on Sunday, showing glimpses of quality despite the team's 4-0 defeat. 

    If Matarazzo is selected as Die Fohlen's new manager, he could lean into two players who have starred for the USMNT over the years.
