Michael Wimmer has left his role as head coach of Motherwell after just 12 games to return to Germany and coach Jahn Regensburg, citing significant family issues. His decision was met with a compensation negotiation between the clubs. Wimmer has expressed his excitement about the new role and the happiness of his family, particularly his son. He recalls his positive experience in Scotland, emphasizing his achievements at Motherwell, including beating Rangers. Wimmer’s return offers a fresh start for Jahn Regensburg, a club familiar with him due to his regional ties.
Wimmer expressed himself "thrilled" and "excited" to join the club relegated to Germany's third tier on a contract until 2027. "My family is, of course, very happy too," he told his new club's website. "Things have now developed to the point where I would like to return to Germany."
Wimmer said, "I had a fantastic time in Scotland, sportingly speaking," referring to his positive experience at Motherwell. "With four games to go, we retained the league place and were able to beat Glasgow Rangers at the famous Ibrox Stadium."
Wimmer expressed that his son's joy when the move was finalized was the crucial factor for his decision, stating, "The look on his face is incomparable, that convinced me once again that it was the perfect decision."
Jahn sports director Achim Beierlorzer commented on Wimmer's fit for the club stating, "It was an additional positive that Wimmer was from the Eastern Bavarian region and therefore knew the club well."
