Former Bundesliga coach Alexander Nouri is no longer working in football - but McDonald's. After retiring from playing in 2011, he coached at the likes of VfB Oldenburg and also had a brief period as Bremen manager, last coaching at Kavala, which he left in 2022. He is now a manager of two McDonald's restaurants; one in Herzogenrath, a small town in North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany, and one in Kohlscheid nearby. Nouri helped Bremen to survival in 2017 after being promoted from his role as interim boss to permanent manager, and also took them close to European qualification. Nouri did, but has opted to now step away from the game, at least in the short-term.
