Sports director Frank Baumann admitted a mistake in dealing with club legend Thomas Schaaf at the general meeting of SV Werder Bremen.

Bremen - The double coach from 2004 was supposed to get the coals out of the fire as an interim coach when it was long too late, then his contract as

technical director was

not extended.

For financial reasons, as it was called at the time.

Thomas Schaaf

the Raffzahn?

This was the impression.

Frank Baumann

now speaks of misunderstandings that have arisen and which he “very much regret.

He (Schaaf, d. Red.) Is an absolute icon of this club, and I would like to make it clear that his financial ideas were no reason for the separation, ”said the sports director of

SV Werder Bremen

.

After Thomas Schaaf's frustration: Frank Baumann apologizes to the Werder Bremen legend

They have known each other for more than 20 years, they won

the historic double

together for

SV Werder Bremen in

2004

, but now the really good relationship between

Thomas Schaaf

and

Frank Baumann

has gotten a big crack. 

And that was not at all in the spirit of sports director

Frank Baumann

, who even

contacted

Thomas Schaaf

via

DeichStube

*

Excuses: "I'm sorry if something came across wrong." A personal conversation should follow.

Schaaf didn't like the way Werder Bremen announced its retirement as technical director.

The reason in a press release that the club could not make him an offer for economic reasons leaves him in a completely wrong light - as someone who demands too much money and is unaffordable.

“I can't leave it like that,” Werder icon Schaaf emphasized in an interview with DeichStube: “The conversation with Frank Baumann wasn't about the financial side at all.

I would have been open to many things.

I know our financial situation. "

Werder Bremen: Thomas Schaaf has to go and is irritated - now Frank Baumann apologizes

Frank Baumann

also refers to this particular situation,

but would like to make something clear first: “I did not want to make it appear in any way that Thomas was in any way concerned with money. That was not the case at all, as I have emphasized several times in the past. ”He would have loved to

continue

working with

Thomas Schaaf

and to extend the contract that expired on June 30th. The economic situation at

SV Werder Bremen

does not allow that.

“We have to make savings because there are still too many balls in the air. For example, we still don't know when and in front of how many viewers we can play, and whether we can achieve our goals in terms of cost savings, on the transfer market or in reducing management costs, "says

Frank Baumann

:" I can understand that Thomas is very disappointed. His position with us was very important to me and I always worked extremely hard for it. But our current situation in a pandemic and with the relegation is a great show of strength, in which unfortunately such decisions also have to be made. It is important to me that there is nothing negative between Thomas, me and

Werder Bremen

gets stuck. “(kni) * DeichStube.de is a joint venture of the Kreiszeitung media group and the WESER-KURIER media group and an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
