The manager might arguably be the most important person at any soccer club, but only a handful of them can be considered household names.

One more game, one final push. After putting in a strong display against RB Leipzig last weekend, SV Werder Bremen are now full of confidence in their ability to emerge victorious in their final game this coming weekend. “We don’t want the season to end on a negative note,” remarked Leonardo Bittencourt, “but are eager to round it off with a win.” SVW will have one last chance to climb up the Bundesliga table in their final showdown against VfL Bochum on Saturday afternoon.

Napoli star Victor Osimhen might have narrowed down his choices for his next stop — Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain:

Maximilian Beier has enjoyed an outstanding season following his return from Hannover 96: in 32 appearances so far, the 21-year-old has scored 15 goals and set up a further four. With these strong numbers, Beier has earned himself a nomination for the DFL’s “Rookie of the Season” award. Voting is underway and will end at 23:59 CET on Tuesday.
