SSV Ulm 1846

Wörle was appointed head coach of SSV Ulm 1846 on 1 July 2021.[21] In his first season, he guided the club to a second-place finish in the 2021–22 Regionalliga Südwest.[22] Ulm were eliminated from the 2021–22 DFB-Pokal by 1. FC Nürnberg[23] and reached the final of the Württemberg Cup.[23]

During the 2022–23 season, Ulm won the Regionalliga Südwest title, finishing one point ahead of TSV Steinbach Haiger, and secured promotion to the 2023–24 3. Liga.[24] In cup competition, the team reached the round of 16 of the Württemberg Cup before being eliminated by Sport-Union Neckarsulm.[25]

In the 2023–24 season, Wörle led Ulm to a second consecutive promotion, earning direct promotion to the 2. Bundesliga. However, the following campaign proved more difficult. In March 2025, the club parted ways with Wörle, with Ulm in 17th place on 19 points, four points adrift of both the relegation play-off position and safety.[26] Under his successor, Robert Lechleiter, Ulm were ultimately relegated.[27]
