Werner: Werder Bremen’s promotion before the winter break “no longer a big issue”

Successful Werder coach

In the second half of the Bundesliga table, Werder Bremen is the undisputed number one – in the current one after 31 of 34 match days, they are also at the top. The fact that the green-whites can have high hopes of returning to the Bundesliga immediately is closely linked to the upswing after coach Ole Werner was hired at the end of November. Since then there have been eleven wins from 16 league games with an average of 2.31 points per game. The rise seemed to be over early just before the winter break – with tenth place after matchday 15.

“Right, that wasn’t really a big issue anymore. Nevertheless, we wanted to try everything to get to the top again. The question was: can we do it – or do we have to develop a lot of things in anticipation of the new season? It was also unclear how the team would put up with the turbulent experiences of the previous weeks,” explained Werner in the “kicker” interview. His predecessor Markus Anfang was no longer in office after unrest over the use of a fake vaccination card.

The 33-year-old, who was tied until 2023, was unable to judge whether Werner would be on the sidelines of the SVW for as long as the record holders Otto Rehhagel (5203 days) and Thomas Schaaf (5119 days). “In fact, I don’t think that far ahead. I signed a contract and for the term I feel like it’s working. It’s always nice when it fits in the long term. But it’s also true: Everything is so fast-moving, so I try to do a good job in the here and now – so that other things can arise from it if possible,” said the trainer. In September 2021, Werner surprisingly resigned as head coach of Holstein Kiel.
