From summer 1978 until his dismissal in January 1980, Weber coached the Bundesliga side
Werder Bremen, but was sacked in the relegation struggle of the North German side in his second
season. His successor
Fritz Langner, who acted in cooperation with
Rudi Assauer, could not avoid the drop to the
2. Bundesliga in the later stages of Bremen's 1979–80 campaign. In retirement, Weber has been involved with the German branch of the
Special Olympics. == References ==
