Damir Buric has already been in the coaching business for quite some time. Back in 1991, he started gathering his first experience as player-coach at MTV Ingolstadt. The biggest chunk of his experience came in Freiburg. First he was with the SC Freiburg youth academy and then became the assistant to Robin Dutt with the professional side. Buric has also been learning from the coach since the beginning of the season with SV Werder. Eight months into his stint at assistant coach, the former player will return to his former home on Friday.

WERDER.DE met up with the assistant coach on Wednesday in the coaching office.

WERDER.DE: The team has the day off - apparently not you. Why is that?
Damir Buric: "That's okay. I decided to stay in Bremen to prepare a bit. I am watching Mainz against Freiburg from the 19th game day to possibly get some new knowledge. We are flying to Freiburg on Friday. I can still see my family there. Otherwise I would use the day off to drive to see my family."

WERDER.DE: Then you seem to very comfortable in Bremen and with Werder ...
Damir Buric: "I feel really good. Everything is wonderful. Bremen is a nice city, Werder is a very good club. If my family were to move up here it would be perfect. My younger son is just about done with school. After that he can come up to Bremen together with my wife."

WERDER.DE: Robin Dutt continues to emphasise how meticulous you are in your work. How mad are you when the team loses a match?
Damir Buric: "I hate losses. Then I can't relax in private, joke and have fun. It really bothers me. I am unbearable."

WERDER.DE: Werder always play quite well in Freiburg. The Green-Whites haven't lost there in nearly 13 years. Will it still be like that on Friday evening at about 10:20 p.m.?
Damir Buric: "It's very difficult to give a prediction. The game can go either way. A win or loss will be close to one another on Friday. For us it is important that we keep our organisation from the start. Then I am also confident that we can have a good game."
