Fritz Acknowledges Lapse After Ducksch Criticizes Werder Farewell

Ducksch has found form at Birmingham, saying the trust there contrasts with his final months in Bremen.

Overview

  • Werder football chief Clemens Fritz said he takes Marvin Ducksch’s complaint about the lack of post-transfer contact "self-critically" and confirmed there was no outreach after the summer move.
  • Fritz stressed appreciation for Ducksch’s service and noted he prefers such concerns be raised directly rather than through the media.
  • In a Bild interview, Ducksch said only former managing director Frank Baumann contacted him after his exit and described coach Ole Werner as a key internal supporter.
  • Ducksch cited a perceived drop in appreciation and indications the club wanted to sell him earlier as decisive in choosing to leave.
  • Now at Birmingham City, Ducksch has scored three goals in his past two matches after overcoming a calf injury, while his Werder tenure totaled 54 goals and 40 assists with a central role in the 2022 promotion.
