Weinzierl confirmed in his post-match interview with Sky Germany that he would not be renewing his expiring contract. Hütter--who remained under contract through 2024--announced that he and the foals would be going their separate ways.
"After many intense, productive, and respectful discussions, we came to a mutual agreement," Hütter told his interviewer, "Today was my last game with Borussia Mönchengladbach."
"One the one hand, it's a pity because I feel comfortable," Hütter continued, "but we didn't achieve what we wanted in sporting terms. There's some sadness. I thank the club for its honesty and candor."
"My heart hurts," Weinzierl acknowledged in his own interview, "the basis for a long-term commitment simply wasn't there. We remained in the league, but there was no satisfaction for me."
"That was a sign," Weinzierl added, "It was the right decision to stop talking. I made the decision yesterday and spoke to my players today."
