Members and Infrastructure 2020–2026

Between 2020 and 2026, the club changed fundamentally behind the scenes. Borussia broke through the 100,000-member mark, making it one of the largest membership-based clubs in Germany — proof of the club's unbroken appeal despite sporting stagnation. The stadium area evolved into a campus: a state-of-the-art Medical Center and new hotel projects now define the Borussia-Park grounds.

Leadership Changes: Eberl, Virkus, Schröder

The sporting leadership underwent a complete overhaul. Max Eberl, sporting director since 2008 and architect of the club's rise, resigned on January 28, 2022 at an emotional press conference. Roland Virkus, at the club since 1990 and previously youth director, took over in February 2022 — and announced his own resignation on September 30, 2025 after a 4-6 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt and 18th place in the table. His successor is Rouven Schröder, arriving from RB Salzburg.

Coaching Carousel 2020–2026: Rose, Hütter, Farke, Seoane

The coaching bench spun even faster. Marco Rose left for BVB in summer 2021. His successor Adi Hütter arrived for around 7.5 million euros from Eintracht Frankfurt and lasted one season. Hütter was followed by Daniel Farke (2022–2023), then Gerardo Seoane (2023–2025). Seoane was sacked on September 15, 2025 after a 0-4 defeat to Werder Bremen on matchday 3 — the earliest coaching dismissal in the club's history. His points average of 1.13 per match was the worst since Michael Frontzeck. U23 coach Eugen Polanski took over as interim.
