Bremen's former trainer Markus Anfang has admitted forging his vaccination certificate.
"The lawyer commented on the allegation and admitted the charge," said the spokesman for the Bremen public prosecutor's office, Frank Passade, on Wednesday afternoon.
Previously, the “Deichstube” and “Bild” had reported about it.
At the beginning of November, a few hours before the home game against FC Schalke 04 (1: 1), Werder Bremen's coach had resigned. Previously, the public prosecutor's investigation into a forged vaccination certificate against him had become known. The public prosecutor's office did not comment specifically on how the beginning finally had his vaccination certificate forged or possibly forged it himself. "He has issued a declaration of origin," said Passade of the "image".
From a legal point of view, a so-called decision in the penal order path would now be conceivable.
A fine would be expected at the beginning if the public prosecutor recommends this to the court, explains Passade.
The former Cologne coach had only come to the Weser in the summer and should start rebuilding the Bremen team after relegating for the first time in 41 years - and leading the North Germans back to the Bundesliga as directly as possible.
With his resignation and the media interest caused by the investigation, the beginning caused a great stir on the Weser.
After his departure, Danijel Zenkovic was the interim coach on the bench in the 1-1 draw against Schalke.
Its positive corona test ensured that U19 coach Christian Brand had to step in after the 2-1 defeat in Kiel before Ole Werner was presented as the new coach at the end of November.
