After ten winless games, Werder Bremen has pulled the emergency brake and relieved coach Horst Steffen of his duties.

In this tense situation, both in terms of sports and atmosphere, club icon Ivan Klasnic has now spoken out and offered his help.

In an interview with ‘Sport1’, the former striker mainly criticizes the team climate and suggests the following approach: “Not just always playing football, but also doing other activities together, so that the team can get its smile back.”

Klasnic even brings himself and his former strike partner Ailton into play: “They need to bring Toni and me into the team so that the mood improves again.” The 46-year-old emphasizes: “We would be ready to help,” but makes it clear that he is not a coach, but rather a motivator with heart.

In any case, his public application is unlikely to have particularly rosy prospects. According to numerous media reports (including ‘Bild’), former Mainz coaches Bo Svensson and Bo Henriksen are considered the favorites for the vacant coaching position.
