Coach Steffen on the move to Werder Bremen – Elversberg’s future is questionable!
SV Elversberg coach Horst Steffen is about to move to Werder Bremen. How sol.de reported, Steffen agreed to the Bremen team on Tuesday, May 27, 2025. An official presentation could take place as early as Thursday. The change could cost SV Elversberg around a low six-figure amount.
However, after the relegation second leg against 1. FC Heidenheim, which ended 1-2, Steffen did not comment on his future. Sports director Nils-Ole Book also remained vague about his future, but did not rule out a change. Book made a significant contribution to Elversberger's rise from the regional league to almost the Bundesliga.
Future challenges and speculations
SV Elversberg is currently in a critical phase after losing 0-1 in its last two games against VfL Osnabrück and Erzgebirge Aue. Still, they have a seven-point lead over the relegation spot and there are still five matchdays left, which points to an exciting final spurt. A catch-up game against MSV Duisburg next Tuesday could be crucial for the further rankings, as more points could be added.
Sports director Nils-Ole Book is optimistic. Despite the recent defeats, he emphasizes that the team has often performed better. In addition, top scorer Luca Schnellbacher is returning after a suspension, which could improve the situation for the coming games. At the moment, Book is concentrating on promotion with Elversberg and did not comment on speculation about a possible move to Schalke 04. While he did not firmly deny these rumors, the topic remains open.
Interested in Nils-Ole Book
In addition to the speculation about Steffen, there is also interest in Nils-Ole Book himself. According to liga-drei.de Both 1. FC Cologne and Borussia Mönchengladbach are looking at the sports director. From the summer onwards, Book could also hold the title of sports director at Elversberg, which would further increase his responsibility in the club.
Overall, SV Elversberg is facing exciting but also challenging times, as the situation could continue to develop dynamically, both in terms of the change of coach and the sporting perspective.
