The future shape of the board of directors for Werder Bremen GmbH & Co KG aA has been set. The Green-Whites supervisory board chairman Willi Lemke announced Friday that the 42-year-old Adidas manager Klaus Filbry will replace long-time manager Manfred Müller on 1 January 2010 and take over his duties in marketing, management and finances. The decision means the body will continue to distribute its work among three managers.

 

The Werder supervisory board chairman Willi Lemke was pleased with the results of the months-long search. "In the end we agreed unanimously on Klaus Filbry. He is someone with international experience, who has already led a unit with 200 employees in the United States. And he has a strong connection to football. With his qualities, he has everything needed for the position after the consolidation of the marketing and finances departments," said Lemke.

 

Manfred Müller, 65, will leave his post on 31 December 2009 but will remain with Werder. "The supervisory board also agreed unanimously to continue to rely on the valuable experience of Manfred Müller, especially in stadium construction until the completion of work on Weser-Stadion. Manfred Müller therefore will be given a contract as consultant until March 2011," added Willi Lemke.

 

When he takes over his management position, Filbry will continue the proven Werder philosophy. "Over the past few years Werder Bremen has gone an impressive way. And my activities will be based upon the stable foundation. And I hope to strengthen it," said the father of three Filbry.

 

Starting on 1 January 2010, the board of directors of Werder Bremen GmbH & Co KG aA (Limited Commercial Partnership) will have the following separation of duties:

 

Klaus Allofs

Chairman of board of directors

Manager of professional football and public relations

 

Klaus Filbry

Manager of marketing and management and finances

 

Klaus-Dieter Fischer

Manager of football performance centre and other sporting branches
