Jens Todt

Freiburg managed to maintain its top flight status in the following three seasons - finishing third in 1995 - with Todt scoring 14 league goals combined.

In the 1996 summer, he signed for SV Werder Bremen, as a replacement for ageing Dieter Eilts (31) and Mirko Votava (40), managing to appear regularly for the club during his three-year spell, which ended with DFB-Pokal conquest, with the player missing in the penalty shootout against FC Bayern Munich (1–1 after 120 minutes) in the final.

[1] After retiring, Todt worked as a journalist for Der Spiegel, joining Hamburger SV as youth team coordinator shortly after.

Todt earned three caps for the Germany national team, his debut coming on 12 October 1994, in a 0–0 friendly draw with Hungary.

[3] He was called up to the squad just before the final of UEFA Euro 1996 as a last-minute addition, due to injuries,[4] but did not play for the eventual champions.
