Werder Bremen has announced that Johannes Jahns will be joining their team as the new head of scouting from the summer. A Bremen native, Jahns will be working as a squad planner and will support the sporting management team of professional boss Clemens Fritz and manager Frank Baumann. Jahns was previously employed at RB Salzburg as Players Relations Manager, where he worked alongside sports director Christoph Freund.
Jahns recently bid his farewell to Salzburg, inviting his colleagues for a fish roll party. Sources say that the party was enjoyed by all. Before starting his new job, Jahns will be taking a family break. He is expected to start working in Bremen at the beginning of July at the latest.
Clemens Fritz, the professional boss of Werder Bremen, stated that Jahns will be another building block in their development. Fritz currently oversees the scouting department but will be taking charge of the club’s overriding issues, including budget and strategy issues, and the NLZ in the future.
Jahns comes to Werder Bremen with a wealth of experience, having handled most of the transfers in Salzburg in recent years. He played a key role in the deals with Erling Haaland, who now plays for ManCity, and Dayot Upamecano, who now plays for Bayern Munich.
Jahns’ decision to join Werder Bremen was a conscious one. He hopes to contribute his experience and skills profitably and set new impulses. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if Jahns will treat his new colleagues to some Wiener schnitzel and cheese spaetzle, their traditional dish.
