Why Horst Steffen is the perfect appointment for Werder Bremen

Werder Bremen have appointed Horst Steffen as the club's new head coach. But what can Werder fans expect from the appointment? We break it all down.

Never before was heartbreak more visible on a person’s face. It was hours after SV Elversberg had lost the relegation playoff to Heidenheim in dramatic fashion. Music was blasting out of the visitors’ dressing room while Elversberg’s head coach Horst Steffen was trying to put his team’s disappointment into words.

“I can’t say much about the game,” Steffen said. “It just feels so very hard that we have lost this thing today. It is something that will occupy us for some time. The dressing room was very quiet just now.” Then Steffen tried to switch to the positives quickly. “All I can say is that the way the team has presented itself all season is phenomenal.”
