5) Borussia Monchengladbach
Trending
Borussia Monchengladbach entered the 2015-16 having finished third in the 2014-15 season. They had aspirations of finishing higher up the table, possibly challenging for the title but things did not go according to plan as they lost their first five games in a row.
They had lost to their main rivals Borussia Dortmund in the first game of the season and their most successful head coach Lucien Favre was under immense pressure and on 20 September, he left the club by mutual consent.
Incoming manager Andre Schubert spurred Gladbach into winning six games in a row and going on an unbeaten run of 10 games. It was a total contrast to their horrid start to the season and it just shows how much hard work and a manager’s motivation can change the results of a team. Gladbach were 18th in the league when Schubert took over and were 4th at the end of the season.
