Ole Werner was already a candidate for the much-cited rebuilding after the relegation of SV Werder At that time, the 33-year-old was still under contract with Kiel – the Hanseatic League’s next opponent.
“Due diligence and speed”, Werder’s managing director of finance Klaus Filbry said were the decisive factors in the search for a coach. So it’s fitting that they can fall back on mind games from the summer, when SV Werder were relegated to the 2nd division for the first time since 1980.
A hot candidate back then: Ole Werner from new league rivals Holstein Kiel. The Bremen management had even contacted Werner before Markus Anfang, who has now been released, but he blocked talks at the time out of loyalty to his club. In September, however, Werner surprisingly handed in his resignation from the Störchen and will no longer receive a salary from KSV. “I have a great desire to work and am looking forward to the next exciting task,” the former Kiel coach told the.

Nevertheless, there could be a labour law detail that needs to be settled. Possibly it could be about Werner not being allowed to act as Bremen’s coach in the next match because the opponent next Saturday is Holstein Kiel, where Werner worked for 15 years. In that case, Danijel Zenkovic could possibly step in again, who had a highly eventful debut as head coach as an interim solution at the 1:1 against FC Schalke
Other names circulating at the Osterdeich: Daniel Thioune (still tied to HSV until the end of the season) or Daniel Farke (most recently released by Premier League club Norwich City). There is no contact with the club-less novice coach Miroslav Klose, formerly a player for SV Werder
