Werder Bremen already has a new transition coach. After Markus Anfang resigned, interim coach Danijel Zenkovic has become infected with the corona virus. After all, the search for a new head coach is about to be completed.
The Werder Bremen players got their third coach in just four days on Tuesday. After Markus Anfang resigned, interim coach Danijel Zenkovic, like midfielder Nicolai Rapp, tested positive for the corona virus and immediately sent to home quarantine. The U19 coach and former Werder professional Christian Brand took over the management of the training for the time being, announced the relegated Bundesliga.
New head coach for Werder Bremen is apparently in the starting blocks
In addition to these other bad news, there is also good news: The search for a new head coach seems to be about to close. According to reports in the “Bild” newspaper and the “Deichstube”, Ole Werner is now the clear favorite to succeed him from the start. Accordingly, Bremen want to sign the 33-year-old this week and thus before the duel at Werner’s long-standing Club Holstein Kiel (Saturday, 8.30 p.m. / Sport1 and Sky).
The last ambiguities apparently still exist with the exact contractual situation of the soccer teacher. “Ole Werner still has an existing employment contract with Holstein Kiel until June 30th, 2022,” said sports director Uwe Stöver of the “Bild” newspaper. Accordingly, the Kiel could demand a transfer fee for their long-time player, youth and head coach. However, Werner voluntarily resigned as a Holstein coach in September and, according to two media reports, has already terminated this contract on November 30th.
If there is no agreement between the parties, the former HSV coach Daniel Thioune and, according to “Deichstube” information, the Austrian Gerhard Struber from RB New York will continue to be traded as coach candidates. Beginning resigned on Saturday because prosecutors are investigating him. The 47-year-old is said to have used a forged vaccination certificate, which he himself denied in a message from the club.
The 49-year-old Brand played for Werder from 1996 to 1999 and returned to Bremen in 2018 after playing as a player and coach at Hansa Rostock, FC Luzern and Jahn Regensburg, initially as a U17 coach. In the 1-1 draw against Schalke 04, he already acted as Zenkovic’s assistant coach on Saturday. Now he is supported by Cedric Makiadi, who also played for Werder from 2013 to 2015.
