Revamped! 💥🌟 Let's talk Werder 🧩💫
Preparing Werder's squad for the upcoming season, Mr. Fritz – what's the game plan?
Hit 'em high and hit 'em hard, it's time to revamp Werder's team for the next season, mate. The winds of change are here, and Sports Director Clemens Fritz is leading the charge.
The last season was a solid one for Bremen–51 points, 8th place, and a narrow miss for Europe–but it's time to shake things up. A new coach has joined the ranks, altering the course and the squad. Here's the lowdown on where Werder Bremen is headed. 🐺💥
Bye-bye, Ole 👋ppen
After a successful stint with Werder, Coach Ole Werner chose to part ways. Although surprising, Clemens Fritz was prepared for this outcome. Their relationship was built on honesty and openness, but at times, they didn't see eye to eye on squad planning.
Werner's decision wasn't about money; he'll still cost Werder with his contract running for another year. But Werder needed to make way for new blood. As Fritz explains, the separation wasn't contentious, but it was time for both parties to explore new opportunities. 🌟
Steffen’s time to shine 🌞
Enter Coach Horst Steffen, Werder's preferred choice. Though he's fresh off the SV Elversberg bench with no Bundesliga experience, Fritz and the team were impressed by his positive charisma and hunger for more. Steffen is known for giving talented youngsters a boost, like striker Nick Woltemade, and plans to continue that trend with Werder.
Fritz believes it's not risky to bring on a coach with no Bundesliga experience. Skills like Steffen's are transferable, and Werder already has a stable squad that can help support him as he learns the ropes. ⚽️🔥
**The funds game
Other European leagues will be keen to analyze Werder's squad changes with the arrival of coach Horst Steffen, as he brings a fresh approach to the team, having demonstrated impressive charisma and a hunger for success in his previous role at SV Elversberg.
With the departure of Ole Werner, attention now turns to the development of Werder's young talents, with Steffen's track record for nurturing young players such as Nick Woltemade a promising sign for the future of other sports, such as football, in Werder Bremen.
