At Werder, Ole Werner not only noticed a change in performance, but also a change in mood. From his point of view, Daniel Thioune fits in very well with Bremen.
On Saturday (from 3:30 p.m. live in the radio report and in the live ticker) it will be the first time for Ole Werner that he returns to the Weser Stadium as a coach after his departure last summer. The fact that he is allowed to experience this is not a given. Six coaches started new jobs in the Bundesliga before the season. Werner is now the only one of them who is still in office. He doesn’t expect the task at Osterdeich to be too easy.
It will be a very uncomfortable game because we have a team waiting for us that is in the bottom third of the table, but has recently managed not only a change in mood, but also a change in performance, and has won three of its last four games.

Werner revealed that the new coach Daniel Thioune fits the club and the team very well in his opinion. Under him, Bremen would have found their strengths again. Defensive stability is back. He also sees a clear idea in playing with the ball.
Werner likes to think back to his time at Werder
At Werder, Werner said, he “had a very nice time for three and a half years” and “felt very, very comfortable at the club.” He still has a lot of contact with many of his employees from his time in Bremen. Even at the end of their time together, the club and he parted “on very good terms”.
The Bundesliga game at 1. FC Heidenheim on matchday 34 of last season was Ole Werner’s last as Werder coach.
Nevertheless, the years in Bremen feel like a “long time ago” for him because a year in football is a long time and something happens every day. Nevertheless, he has not forgotten his time at Osterdeich.
This is something that always remains. And something that changed you as a person and as a coach. Hopefully we were able to initiate a few things locally that will stay and help the people there today.(Ole Werner)
Leipzig wants to return to the Champions League
Now for Werner it is no longer about keeping Werder out of the relegation battle and getting as close as possible to the places for qualification for the European Cup. Instead, the only thing that counts in Leipzig is qualification for the Champions League. The team is currently in 4th place, which would be enough. However, the race is extremely close.
