After over 25 years at Werder: Schierenbeck moves to Wolfsburg

Björn Schierenbeck, a long-serving figure at Werder Bremen, is departing the club after over 25 years of service. He is set to join fellow Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg as the head of their youth performance center.

Schierenbeck, who was born in Bremen, began his career with Werder's amateur team in 1995. He had a brief loan spell at SpVgg Greuther Fürth in 1998 but returned to play 16 Bundesliga matches for Werder Bremen's senior team. After concluding his playing career, he transitioned into various roles within the club, primarily focusing on youth development.

In recent years, Schierenbeck was responsible for integrating young players into the professional squad and overseeing players on loan from Werder. His departure marks the end of a significant chapter for the club, where he was deeply involved in nurturing talent.

VfL Wolfsburg's Managing Director of Sport, Dieter Hecking, welcomed Schierenbeck, stating, "With Björn Schierenbeck, we are gaining a proven expert for our youth development work, who has accompanied the development of talents into the professional field in various roles over many years." Schierenbeck's move is effective immediately.
