2001–02 SV Werder Bremen season

Werder Bremen
2001–02 season
Manager	Thomas Schaaf
Bundesliga	6th
DFB-Pokal	Second round
Top goalscorer	Ailton (16)

SV Werder Bremen improved one position upon its 2000–01 position, ultimately finishing 6th in the championship. Key players Frank Rost and Torsten Frings departed for Bundesliga opposition in the summer of 2002, resulting in lowered expectations, especially since club legend Marco Bode decided to retire from professional football.
