Ole Werner is reportedly not an option to become the next Borussia Mönchengladbach head coach following the departure of Eugen Polanski. 

According to Bild, the timing of a move to Gladbach does not suit Werner, who is enjoying his time away from management. 

The 38-year-old most recently led RB Leipzig before leaving in the summer and remains under contract with his former employers. 

The Foals are searching for a new permanent head coach after parting ways with Polanski on Sunday following a disastrous start to the Bundesliga season. 

Gladbach have lost all three of their opening matches, with Saturday's 5-0 loss against Freiburg proving the final straw for Polanski. 

Assistant coach Jan-Moritz Lichte has taken over on an interim basis, with the club assessing options before the extended international break. 

Werner had emerged as one of several names linked with the job, but Bild now report that the former Bremen and Leipzig boss is not looking to take the position. 

Christian Eichner, Horst Steffem, Alexander Blessin and Bo Henriksen have also been mentioned among the potential candidates. 

Lichte will remain in charge for the time being, as the Foals aim to recover from a start that has left them without a point after three matches.
