FORMER Germany midfielder Torsten Frings will be offered a coaching role rather than a new playing contract at Werder Bremen, the Bundesliga club said on Tuesday.
The 34-year-old had spent most of his career at the club, which said it was now giving him the chance to take his first steps as a coach.
"The club leadership has, after weighing things up with coach Thomas Schaaf and a careful judgment of the sporting and financial aspects, decided not to offer Torsten Frings a new contract as a professional player," the club's sports director Klaus Allofs told a news conference.
"Werder Bremen will offer him a post which allows him to develop as a coach and acquire the necessary licence."
Werder said the coaching offer would remain open even if Frings decided to continue his playing career at another club.
Speaking to local Bremen newspaper Kreiszeitung Syke, Frings said: "I have to accept it. It's a shame, I would like to have ended with a more successful season."
Frings had spent the past six years at Werder, returning to the club where he started his Bundesliga career before short spells at Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich.
