Werder Bremen Dismisses Horst Steffen After 10-Game Winless Run

The club cited a prolonged winless run, installing assistants Raphael Duarte and Christian Groß as interim coaches.

Overview

Bremen confirmed the dismissal on Feb. 1 following the 1-1 draw with Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Steffen’s team has not won since Nov. 7, a 10-match stretch, and he averaged 0.9 points per game across 21 matches.
Sporting director Clemens Fritz said the club no longer believed Steffen could deliver a turnaround after the extended slump.
Assistants Raphael Duarte and Christian Groß take temporary charge, with Freiburg away as the next fixture.
The club has started its search for a permanent coach, with names such as Marco Rose, Edin Terzic, Thorsten Fink and Bo Svensson reported as possibilities rather than confirmed targets.
