Horst Steffen discusses his departure from Werder Bremen

Former Werder Bremen head coach Horst Steffen has reflected on his dismissal from the club in February 2026. Steffen served in the role for 215 days before the organization made the decision to terminate his contract following a ten-match winless streak that concluded with a draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach. Daniel Thioune succeeded Steffen and managed to guide the team to safety in the league. Reflecting on the period, Steffen acknowledged the difficulty of the situation but confirmed he is looking for a new role that offers a stable environment and a project aligned with his professional philosophy. The 57-year-old indicated that he is currently waiting for the right opportunity that fits his specific requirements for club development and cooperation with officials. He remains interested in returning to coaching if a suitable offer arises.
