Union Berlin coach Urs Fischer turned down offers from other clubs to stay at the Alte Försterei earlier this year, according to Sport Bild.

The 56-year-old could reportedly have made five times as much at Al Nassr FC in Saudi Arabia and also received an offer from Italy.

However, in September, he chose to extend his contract with Union until 2025 without including an exit clause in the deal.

Fischer has been in charge at Union since 2018, led the club to promotion and is currently in first place in the Bundesliga with 'Die Eisernen'.
