On 25 October 2014, Nouri succeeded Skrypnyk as manager of the reserve team[8] while Skrypnyk became manager of the first team after the dismissal of Dutt.[9]

He was appointed as the head coach of the first team of Bundesliga side Werder Bremen on 18 September 2016.[10] After first serving on an interim basis, Nouri was handed the job permanently on 2 October 2016, with his contract running through to the end of the 2016–17 campaign.[11] Under the helm of Nouri, Bremen escaped the relegation battle and went in contention for European football.[12] In May 2017, his contract with the club was extended.[13]
