“We’ve sat down together over the last few weeks and discussed many important things about continuing to work together long-term. We’re delighted to be able to confirm that we will continue our partnership,” said Frank Baumann. Werder’s Sporting Director continued: “Alex took over the team in autumn and, at the time, we needed him to get us out of a difficult situation. He’s done that brilliantly. In the second half of the season he has led us up the table one step at a time. Therefore, we want to extend the contract and continue to develop Werder further.” 

Alexander Nouri, who has experienced a turbulent season and still has the chance to lead the team in Europe going into the final league match, is excited about his contract extension, “Even in February when results weren’t going our way, I was certain that my journey with Werder was not over. I always had the feeling it would continue. I’m pleased with the faith that the club has placed in me, the support of the fans and the passionate and hungry team.”
