It is about a possibly falsified vaccination certificate.

The beginning had firmly denied the allegations.

The kicker had written of a dismissal from the club before his resignation.

“Due to the extremely stressful situation for the club, the team, my family and myself, I have decided that I will end my job as Werder Bremen's head coach with immediate effect.

I have therefore asked the responsible persons to terminate my contract immediately, and they have granted this request.

I wish Werder against Schalke today and maximum success in the future, ”said Anfang.

The beginning of the Bundesliga relegated team only took over for the current season.

He came from SV Darmstadt 98. Werder paid a high transfer fee for him.
