Werder Bremen Coach Thomas Schaaf Signs New Contract
The German gaffer has committed his future to Werder Bremen...
Head coach Thomas Schaaf has signed a new deal with Bundesliga outfit Werder Bremen, extending his contract for another two years until the summer of 2012.
"This shows the high standing Thomas has with us," sporting director Klaus Allofs said on the official Werder website. "He has proved over many years he has the skills to improve a team and its players. This has been an important factor in our success."
"Werder continue to have an interesting team capable of pursuing new goals. That's why it was not difficult to accept this new challenge," Schaaf said after signing the new deal.
Schaaf spent his entire playing career at Bremen, joining the club's coaching staff when he retired in 1994. He was appointed first-team coach alongside former team-mate Allofs in May 1999, and helped his side avoid the drop before lifting the German Cup the same month.
Since then Schaaf has established Bremen as one of the Bundesliga's top clubs, leading them to the Bundesliga and German Cup double in 2003/04 and the German Cup last season.
