Markus Anfang was the newly appointed head coach of Werder Bremen who took over from Florian Kohfedt at the start of this season in June, with an intention to lead the team back into the top flight of Bundesliga.
The German manager was recently accused of forging his Covid vaccination certificate after he repeatedly confirmed that he was doubly vaccinated. This situation has caused a lot of pressure for him and due to the distrust of the officials he has decided to stepped down as the manager of Werder Bremen right before their match against Schalke.
Markus Anfang explains the reason behind his resignation
Anfang said, “Due to the extremely stressful situation for the club, the team, my family and myself.”
“I requested that the club management dissolve my contract, a request they have granted. I wish Werder all the success in the world both for today’s game against Schalke and for the future.”
Frank Braumann the managing director of Bremen said, “Anfang and Florian Junge are taking responsibility and are helping to end the unrest that has arisen around the club and the team in the past few days.”
Daniel Zenkovic will take the leash of Bremen as an interim manager while the management looks out for a new head coach. Bremen is currently at the eight place in the points table in the second division of Bundesliga.
