Frank Lieberam (born December 17, 1962 in Halberstadt ) is a former German soccer player and soccer coach.

Player career

Frank Lieberam was elected as a member of the BSG locomotive Halberstadt in the autumn of 1975 with the Magdeburg Elf Spartakiadesieger for student B district selection teams and in the tournament eleven. In the following year, the hopeful talent was delegated to the offspring of 1. FC Magdeburg . In the FCM's junior team, he drew the attention of those responsible for the GDR football association to himself through his good performance , so that he was accepted into the squad of the junior national team. In this he completed 17 international matches and took 4th place with the GDR juniors in the youth competition of friendship in Poland in 1979. Later there were four international matches with the U-21 national team .

At the beginning of the football season 1980/81, the 1.70 meter tall Lieberam, who had meanwhile completed his apprenticeship as a mechanical engineer, was included in the FCM's squad for the junior league, where he was nominated as a midfielder. Although he was only officially registered for the GDR league team in 1982 , Lieberam played his first competitive game with the first team of the FCM on October 17, 1981 in a cup game at Vorwärts Dessau (2-0 victory). A week later he was used in his first league game in the encounter between Dynamo Dresden and 1. FCM (Dresden won 5-0). However, he was unable to assert himself decisively in the league team, from 1981 to the summer of 1983 he was only used eleven times there.

Then began a hectic transition phase. For the 1983/84 season Lieberam went to the third-rate district division Lok Halberstadt , who had just missed promotion to the GDR league . Since the promotion did not come about with Lieberam, Lieberam returned to 1. FC Magdeburg, where he was only used four times in the league in the 1984/85 season. He then moved to the upper division BSG Stahl Riesa , where he finally became a first division regular with 25 appearances (3 goals). With such playful strength, Lieberam made another change in the summer of 1986 and joined the former East German champion Dynamo Dresden . There he was IM of the State Security until the end of the GDR.

In Dresden, too, he immediately made the breakthrough to the regular eleven, but now in the defense area. Before Dynamo Dresden switched to the Bundesliga , Lieberam played 118 first division games for Dresden. Of the 20 European Cup matches played by the Dynamos between 1986 and 1991, 19 meetings took place with Lieberam. In 1989 and 1990 Lieberam was GDR soccer champion with Dynamo Dresden, with 26 and 25 point matches he played a significant part, as well as in the double in 1990 by winning the GDR Cup when he played as a sweeper in the final against the police SV Schwerin secured the 2-1 victory.

His constant performance prompted national trainer Manfred Zapf to use the Dresdner in the senior national team . This happened on April 26, 1989 in the World Cup qualifying game Soviet Union - GDR (3-0), in which Lieberam was used as a representative for the unfit Dirk Stahmann as a Libero. Since Stahmann quickly returned to the national team and a new national coach came with Eduard Geyer , Lieberam was no longer used in the GDR selection.

In the last league season 1990/91, which started as the GDR Oberliga and ended as the NOFV Oberliga , Dynamo Dresden was runner-up behind Hansa Rostock and qualified together with the Rostockers for the Bundesliga. In the first half of the 1991/92 season, the now 30-year-old Lieberam was only used five times. Lieberam then resumed his previous hiking activities, left Germany and signed up for the South Korean football club Ulsan Hyundai . There he played for half a year, then returned to Germany and went to the second division club VfL Wolfsburg . Here he became a regular player again and played 111 point games in the 2nd Bundesliga between 1992 and 1995 . Lieberam's contract in Wolfsburg ended on June 30, 1996, after which he returned to the starting point of his career, 1. FC Magdeburg. There he played in the fourth-rate league and then the third-rate regional league until 1998 , after which he ended his career as an active soccer player.

Coaching career

Immediately after finishing his active career, Lieberam turned to coaching. The first stop was the regional division FC Erzgebirge Aue , where he replaced Lutz Lindemann on July 1, 1998 , who had only brought the club to a disappointing 7th place in the past season. When ten laps before the end of the season Aue with rank 7 saw no more opportunities for promotion, Lieberam was dismissed on March 8, 1999. At the beginning of the 1999/2000 season he was coach of the sixth division national division VfB Germania Halberstadt . Here Lieberam stayed the longest as a coach and was also the most successful. He led the team in 2000 in the Association League and in 2003 in the fourth-class Oberliga Nordost . When there were disagreements within the team in 2004, Lieberam surprisingly resigned in December.

In the same month he accepted the offer of the bottom of the table in the Regionalliga Nord, 1. FC Union Berlin , to take over the post of head coach. Lieberam did not succeed in the hoped-for rescue, he and his team had to be relegated to the amateur league. Although the FC Union was still promising in the recovery race after the end of the Hinserie 2005/2006, Lieberam was surprisingly dismissed on December 9, 2005 due to alleged lack of athletic competence.

At the beginning of 2006, Lieberam took up a new coaching position for the first division club 1. FC Lok Stendal . Here, too, his career was unsuccessful. With the commitment of Lieberam, Stendal still had promotion to the top league in mind, but in June 2006 the club had to file for bankruptcy. Although the place in the association league could be held, the sporting decline could not be stopped. Although Lieberam had a contract until June 30, 2009, he ended his activity in Stendal at the end of 2006. His last coaching position was the amateur league club MSV Neuruppin , where he worked until May 2007.

After the end of his sporting career, Frank Lieberam works for the player agency Stars & Friends.
