Less than a week ago, Werder Bremen's manager Frank Baumann made a pledge of loyalty despite all the sporting hardships.

“Florian Kohfeldt will remain our trainer.

There are no doubts, ”he said to“ Bild ”.

But now he sowed them himself.

Because to make matters worse, there was also the game at Union Berlin on top and with the 1: 3 (0: 0) the seventh defeat in a row.

Baumann quickly questioned his persistence in the Kohfeldt case as soon as his oath on the trainer had faded away.

"It would be negligent if you don't sit down after such a week and analyze the whole thing together with Florian," he said on Sunday on the TV show "Sky 90".

Werder are only one point ahead of 1. FC Köln in relegation place 16. In addition, the table penultimate Hertha BSC still has three catch-up games to play with four points behind Bremen.

Werder, suffering from a rough mediocrity and great fear of relegation in recent years, now has to deal with the second division again.

And for now, that's why we put the focus on Kohfeldt, who once again could not prevent the crash.

“The analysis is open-ended,” said Baumann.

The conviction in the 38-year-old coach is “still there.

Nevertheless, we have to act in the interests of the association.

We also said last year that there is no Nibelung loyalty to Florian ”.

Last season Baumann supported the hapless Kohfeldt until the end.

Werder had only saved themselves in the relegation against 1. FC Heidenheim.

Kohfeldt asked the question of confidence

"It is important that everyone involved believes in the constellation," said Baumann now.

“The team is part of it, the trainer, the management.

And we also want to take this time to get a better feeling for it. "You have to reevaluate every situation," and then you can also come to the conclusion that it may no longer fit together, that it may not be in this one Constellation gives the highest probability of relegation ”.

But they want to give themselves a day or two to make a decision, but according to Baumann, the process should be over by Tuesday at the latest.

The DFB Cup semi-final against RB Leipzig is on Friday for Werder (8.30 p.m., in the sports ticker of the WELT).

Kohfeldt was on the training ground as normal on Sunday.

Punctually at eleven o'clock he appeared as usual for the training of the substitutes.

Kohfeldt had ruled out a resignation immediately after the game.

In contrast to his team, he gave everything.

Just don't show any glaring weaknesses next to the lawn.

Alarming appearance in Berlin

So: fighting, at least verbally.

Kohfeldt can do that.

That was also the easily recognizable tactic of the deeply disappointed coach after the alarming appearance of his discouraged team at the Alte Försterei.

“It's all about Werder Bremen.

I can rule out running away for myself.

But if someone feels like someone else is doing better, tell me, ”he said.

However, the trend in the table basement speaks against him and his team. While competitors like Cologne or Mainz can cause surprises from time to time, Werder's team is primarily surprised by its own inability. It annoys Kohfeldt that he failed to develop the team and keep it stable in the league as planned. Also because the situation is even more serious this time. “We have to turn around in a much shorter time now. It is a very bad situation that we have to fight with all our might, ”said Kohfeldt. The rest of the program with games against Bayer Leverkusen, FC Augsburg and Borussia Mönchengladbach offers plenty of danger of falling.
