Player career

society

Eilts started his football career at SV Hage in East Friesland . From 1985 to 2002 he played a total of 390 Bundesliga games for Werder Bremen , in which he scored seven goals. After he was already part of the professional squad of the Hanseatic townspeople in the 1985/86 season, Eilts had to wait for the following season to get his first professional appearance in the jersey of the green and white . On the 17th matchday, December 5, 1986, coach Otto Rehhagel changed him in the 79th minute for Rudi Völler . The premiere game against 1. FC Köln was lost 3-0. There was no further use for Eilts this season. In 1986/87 the young player at the time was overshadowed by regular players like Günter Hermann , Norbert Meier , Mirko Votava and Thomas Wolter, who was one year older .

It was not until the second half of the 1988/89 season that Eilts made the breakthrough in Bremen. From the 24th matchday he was in the starting line-up of the SVW and never missed a game until the end of the season. He also played in the DFB Cup final against Borussia Dortmund , which Werder lost 4-1. The year before, he was able to celebrate winning the German championship with the Bremen team , but then only played two league games.

With the beginning of the 1989/90 to 2000/01 season, over ten years, Eilts was an indispensable part of the Bremen midfield network. Apart from one season, he always played more than 25 Bundesliga games per year for the North Germans. In 1990 the team reached the final of the German Cup again. This time the opponent in the final was 1. FC Kaiserslautern . Bremen, where Eilts played the full ninety minutes as in the previous year, lost 2: 3 and had to put off the following year. In the league, Eilts scored his first of seven Bundesliga goals on March 31, 1990. In the game against Hamburger SV , he scored the 2-1 winner.

In the 1989/90 UEFA Cup season, Werder Bremen were only eliminated in the semi-finals with a 1-1 home and 0-0 away match against Fiorentina . In the legendary 5-1 victory in the round of 16 against SSC Napoli , with Diego Maradona in the squad, Eilts signed the scorers list and scored the last goal of the encounter. In 1991 Bremen made it to the final of the DFB Cup for the third time in a row. After Eilts took the 1-0 lead, Maurice Banach equalized for 1. FC Köln , so the penalty shoot-out had to decide. There the Werderans prevailed and Eilts was able to win the German Cup for the first time in the third attempt.

This qualified the club for the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1991/92 . Werder found their way to the final through FC Bacau , Ferencváros Budapest , Galatasaray Istanbul and Club Brugge , where they had to face AS Monaco . After Eilts missed the semifinals against Bruges due to a red card suspension, he started against the French representative. Bremen won the game 2-0 and Eilts was able to celebrate his first and only international club title.

In 1994 and 1999 the triumphs in the German cup competition were repeated. In both games he was active the full season. Already in 1993 the German league title could be won for a second time. 2001/02 Eilts was still in the Bremen squad, but did not get more than four games, all of them between the first and fourth game day of the season. The defensive player played his last Bundesliga game on August 18, 2001 against TSV 1860 Munich .

National team

Since 1993 Dieter Eilts has belonged to the wider circle of the national team . Berti Vogts presented the midfielder for the first time on December 18, 1993 in the friendly against the USA . His breakthrough in the German team came in the 1995/1996 season. At the European Football Championship in England in 1996 , he was considered an essential pillar of the German team, which won the European Championship for the third time, and was elected to the UEFA Allstars team of this tournament.

For winning the European Football Championship in 1996, he and the team received the silver laurel leaf from Federal President Herzog in 1996.

In total, Eilts played 31 international matches by 1997. He played his last game in the qualifier for the 1998 World Cup on June 7, 1997 against Ukraine .

Eilts became known for his rustic style of play, his willingness to run and his strength in duels were enormous. He was considered a destroyer, a clearer in front of his own defense, who always had the opposing playmaker in view, in order to finally leave behind unnerved opponents with his tackles and ball conquests.

Coaching career

After Eilts initially acted as a coach of the A-youth Werder Bremen for a year after his active playing career, he became the coach of the German U19 national team on July 1, 2003 . From August 6, 2004, he was the coach of the German U21 national team and last qualified with it for the finals of the 2009 European Championship . Nevertheless, he was released from this office at the beginning of November 2008, with different views on the game philosophy and working methods of the selection teams being given as reasons.

On November 20, 2008, the DFB finally officially dissolved the contract with Dieter Eilts, so that one day later he was able to take over the post of head coach at the second division club Hansa Rostock . As Frank Pagelsdorf's successor , he was supposed to lead the club, which had only been relegated from the Bundesliga in the previous season, from the 14th matchday of the season from midfield of the second division to the top half of the table. After the away defeat on March 6, 2009 against FC St. Pauli , he was on leave after he had only one win and two draws in eleven competitive games, which is why the club had fallen back to penultimate place in the table.

Since January 2011 Dieter Eilts has been working as a youth coordinator for the upper division VfL Oldenburg . One of his tasks was to look after the next generation of coaches. At the beginning of 2012 he returned to Werder Bremen while maintaining his Oldenburg activity . There he took over the management of the club's newly established soccer school for the training of youth soccer players aged 6 to 13 years. He ruled out another coaching engagement in the professional field. In July 2018, he left Werder.

Further career

In August 2018 he began working as a clerk in the open full day in the day care at the Free Evangelical denominational school Bremen . On his return to a normal bourgeois life, he supports pupils with homework as a supervisor at the elementary school and offers them handicrafts and sports activities with his colleagues. In October 2018 he became a permanent member of the Mein-Werder editorial team at Bremer Weser-Kurier .

Personal

Eilts lives in Bremen and has two daughters.

He is currently one of eight Werder Bremen honorary captains and was named Bremen Sportsman of the Year in 1995 . Due to his strong performances during the European Football Championship in England in 1996, he was named in the press as Lord Eilts . Other nicknames were Eisendieter , Ostfriesen- Alemão and vacuum cleaner . For his services to sport in Lower Saxony , he was accepted into the gallery of honor of the Lower Saxony Institute for Sports History.
