Werder Bremen coach Thomas Schaaf is eager to restore the club he represented as a player back to their former strength.The Weserstadion outfit have lost a number of key personnel to fellow Bundesliga rivals, but the 51-year-old boss is adamant that his squad remains competitive enough to mount a challenge for European competition.
"We are well on our way," Schaaf told Uefa.com. "The team have been working very hard and we have been able to experience many positive things.
"Our newcomers have fit in well, and are making a good impression, focused on the matters at hand. We will be keeping our eyes open to strengthen the team during the remainder of the transfer season.
"We currently have a young team that is eager for success, wanting to rediscover this club's former strength. Our goal is to achieve better results so as to dream of returning to Europe."
The side that finished ninth in the Bundesliga last season have been active in the player market this season, snapping up Eljero Elia from Juventus as well as being reportedly close to agreeing a loan deal with Chelsea for Kevin De Bruyne.
