New momentum for Werder: Horst Steffen brings fresh ideas!
The summer of 2025 will be marked by upheaval for SV Werder Bremen. A change of coach has significantly changed the club's sporting landscape. Horst Steffen, who previously coached SV Elversberg, succeeds Ole Werner, who did not extend his contract on May 26th and was released the following day. On the same day, Steffen and his team failed the promotion relegation against Heidenheim, but his future plans at Werder are clear. “I am convinced of the Werder project,” said the new coach, who was brought on board in discussions with club officials during Werner’s release. Managing director Clemens Fritz said that they “took a multi-pronged approach” to find the right successor.
Steffen's first steps are focused on integrating young talents, which he focuses on. The coach has a good knack for supporting young players, an example of which is Nick Woltemade, a former Bremen player who now plays for VfB Stuttgart. Woltemade has now reached a market value of around 30 million euros. Steffen is enthusiastic about the opportunities that arise from last year's U19 team. “I see potential in several players,” he emphasizes. It's not just the boys who are challenged by him; Older players should also develop further under his leadership.
A new game system for Werder
Another departure also brings with it a new gaming system. Steffen plans to rely on the tried and tested 4-2-3-1 and thus create a clear contrast to Ole Werner's three- and five-man chain. This system change is intended to create a new game idea for SV Werder Bremen and allow the team to act more offensively as a whole. “I want us to celebrate together when we score a goal,” explains Steffen, describing himself as sociable and team-oriented.
The coming season promises to be exciting. The fans can expect a changed SV Werder Bremen, even if the success of the change remains to be seen. But Steffen, who has integrated numerous young players into the Bundesliga in the past, seems to have the right instinct.
Here in Bremen there is not only something to watch in football. As every year, SV Werder Bremen also attracts media attention with its changes. Major League Baseball fans might be able to watch this year's games, as well as last season's statistics, which revealed some record-breaking numbers. League-wide information can be found on platforms such as Sportsnaut, where scores are collected and updated.
Overall, Würzburg remains a place where change in both sport and nature conservation is coming into focus. The Sewee Visitor and Environmental Education Center in South Carolina not only offers unique insights into wildlife, but also programs to educate people about endangered species - a nice contrast to the exciting developments in football.
