Michael Lang returns to FC Basel

After three years in Germany, Michael Lang has left Borussia to return to FC Basel 1893 in his native Switzerland.

The 30-year-old right-back departs the Foals to return to his former club FC Basel. Lang, who played for the Swiss giants between 2015 and 2018, re-signs on a two-year deal until June 2023. His contract at Gladbach was due to run until June 2022. "FCB is still a club with big ambitions and the same goes for me as a player. We were a good fit during my first spell with the club and nothing about that has changed for me. It was important for me to be able to put the work in on the pitch as soon as possible and take up a certain role within the team where I can make the most of my experience," said Lang.

Lang, who has 31 caps for Switzerland, joined Borussia from Basel in 2018 and has made a total of 19 competitive appearances (1 goal). He played in 17 Bundesliga matches and one DFB-Pokal tie in his first season, before joining Werder Bremen on loan for a year. The defender featured three times last season, twice in the cup and once in the UEFA Champions League. Everyone at Gladbach would like to wish Michael Lang all the best for the future!
