SV Werder Bremen are heading into the future with a new setup. Werder’s chairman of the supervisory board Marco Bode confirmed on Thursday morning that chief executive and sporting director Thomas Eichin has left the club with immediate effect. “We would like to thank him for his work over the last three years. He has played an important role in stabilising Werder during a difficult period. However, during our discussions regarding the club’s future, we realised that there was a clash of ideas, which has prompted the decision to have someone else take on the responsibility in that department,” said Bode.
