Werder Bremen Sack Coach Ole Werner After Disagreements

Werder Bremen have dismissed coach Ole Werner after he informed management he would not renew his contract beyond its current term, resulting in an early termination. Werner, under contract until the end of the 2025-26 season, led Bremen to promotion from the second division and guided them to an eighth-place Bundesliga finish this season. Club officials, including managing director Clemens Fritz, cited the need for stability and continuity as reasons for the decision, while also expressing regret. Reports suggest there were disagreements between Werner and the club regarding squad planning and ambitions. Bremen now joins Augsburg, RB Leipzig, and promoted Cologne in the search for a new head coach ahead of the upcoming Bundesliga season. Werner's departure marks the end of a significant and transformative period for the club.
