Gerd Neuser

Gerd Neuser (born February 18, 1945 in Siegen ) is a former German football coach who was one of the most successful coaches in women's football in Germany at the beginning of the 1990s with five German championships and five cup wins .

The flower wholesaler Neuser had previously been active as a youth player for the Grün-Weiß Siegen football club and later also in the Siegerland tennis scene when he joined the women's division of TSV Siegen in 1978 as an "all-purpose weapon" : he became a trainer, talent scout, manager, press spokesman and later also employers, e.g. B. for Silvia Neid . Under his direction, the women's department developed into a stronghold in German women's football .

In the last week of July 1985, Neuser managed to bring half a dozen national players to the Siegerland: Silvia Neid , Petra Bartelmann , Andrea Haberlaß , Sissy Raith and, last but not least, his wife Rosi Neuser , nee. Young. Rosi Neuser came from TSV Siegen, but played early on at the then women's soccer stronghold SSG Bergisch Gladbach and was the goalkeeper of the women's national team.

On June 28, 1987, Gerd Neuser and his team celebrated his first German championship in front of 6500 spectators in the Siegener Leimbachstadion . Neuser repeated this triumph four times: in 1990, 1991 and 1992 with a title hat-trick and in 1994. In addition, there were five final victories for the women's club cup in the Berlin Olympic Stadium .

In the summer of 1994, however, there was a big falling out between Neuser and the then chairman of TSV Siegen, and they did not part amicably. In July 1996 the women's team switched completely from TSV to Sportfreunde Siegen , after having become German champions for the sixth time under the new coach Dieter Richard .

Gerd Neuser withdrew completely from football.
