After initial thoughts it may be otherwise, Petri Pasanen and Werder Bremen will not extend their working relationship, as manager Klaus Allofs and the 30-year-old Finnish international defender confirmed Thursday afternoon. "We had some very good talks in which we discussed the situation. Petri in the end decided that he wants to try a new sporting chapter. We have an understanding for that. We wish him all the best for his future path," said Allofs.

Both sides agreed to the departure of the Finn back in March, when the defensive specialist said: "I have been here seven years now and would like to see something different in my football career." After that he was very emotionally said goodbye to in the final Werder home match. Due to the injury situation in the defence, the Green-Whites' sports bosses were considering a contract extension.

Petri Pasanen arrived at SV Werder in summer 2004 from Ajax Amsterdam. He played 144 Bundesliga games for the Green-Whites and scored three goals.
