Werner Wenning, chair of the Bayer 04 shareholders committee: "We are happy for Rudi Völler and wish him the best of luck and lots of success with this challenging and important task with the Association."
Rudi Völler: "After leaving the operational business, I've enjoyed my commitment to new functions at the club and I'd like to carry on.

As in the previous away fixture in Rheinhessen, Bayer 04 and Mainz 05 were locked in a thrilling battle on Bundesliga matchday 5. And once again, the Werkself proved to have the greater stamina. The home side equalised the early two-goal lead secured by Robert Andrich (5’) and Patrik Schick (9’) before the half-time whistle, thanks to a brace from Anthony Caci (33’, 42’). Mainz 05 were unable to respond to the two goals from Jarell Quansah (55’) and Moussa Diaby (65’) until late on. Apart from Phillip Tietz’s late consolation goal (90+2’), the Black and Reds barely allowed Mainz any attacking opportunities and were able to clinch the first away win of the season.
