Philipp Mehrtens, a former member of Bremen boyband First Love, has been elected chairman of Werder Bremen, becoming the Bundesliga club’s sole candidate for the role.
The 48-year-old was chosen on Sunday, succeeding Hubertus Hess-Grunewald. Mehrtens was part of First Love in the 1990s.
His first match as chairman is due to be next week’s North German derby against Hamburger SV. At his presentation, he said it would be “the icing on the cake” if Werder added three points in the derby.
