"Werder's new coach Steffen is taken aback by Zetterer's impressive display" - Zetterer manages to persuade Werder's new coach, Steffen
Werder Bremen has announced the return of Michael Zetterer as their starting goalkeeper for the new Bundesliga season, following a €5 million transfer to Eintracht Frankfurt. The 30-year-old German goalkeeper, who made 65 appearances and kept 18 clean sheets during his tenure at Werder Bremen, has been replaced by youngster Mio Backhaus.
Despite Zetterer's departure, the competition for the starting goalkeeper position at Werder Bremen was fierce, with the coaching team observing the goalkeepers for six weeks before making a decision. In the end, Zetterer emerged victorious, securing his place as the undisputed number one goalkeeper for the new season.
Mio Backhaus, who is nine years younger than Zetterer, has accepted the decision to be the backup goalkeeper "professionally." Backhaus, who reached the final in the previous DFB-Pokal season with Arminia Bielefeld, will have to wait for his chance to shine.
The new season for Werder Bremen begins with a DFB-Pokal match against Arminia Bielefeld on Friday. The first Bundesliga match for Werder Bremen will be against Eintracht Frankfurt on August 23rd.
Meanwhile, Ole Werner is no longer the coach of Werder Bremen, with Horst Steffen taking over the reins. Steffen, who has been appointed as the new coach, will be looking to guide Werder Bremen to success in the new season with Zetterer between the posts.
