After his release from work in Düsseldorf, Daniel Thioune had his hair transplanted. The Werder coach doesn’t associate this with vanity.
Werder Bremen coach Daniel Thioune has confirmed a hair transplant. He had the procedure carried out after his release from Fortuna Düsseldorf – before he moved Werder Bremen. The 51-year-old told “Bild”.
“I’m making no secret of it: I used the time after my release in Düsseldorf to make my hair look a little fuller. But that has nothing to do with vanity for me. My hair has always been important to me and I liked to dye it when I was a professional,” Thioune told the newspaper.
He also fundamentally rejects vanity. Thioune told “Bild” that he wanted to feel comfortable in his own skin – and referred to the ten kilos he had lost. “Still, I wouldn’t say that I’m totally vain and define myself by my appearance.”
