Ole Werner was manager at Werder Bremen from 2021 until this summer (2025), choosing not to sign a new deal with his contract having one season (2025/26) left to run, instead leaving by mutual consent and taking over at RB Leipzig.

As for Nick Woltemade, his move to Stuttgart saw him having a real breakthrough 2024/25 season, allowing him more playing opportunities at first team level, scoring 17 goals and helping Stuttgart win the German Cup, qualify for Europe and finish ninth in the Bundesliga.
