Career

Club career

As a goalkeeper , he played in the 1988/89 season for VfL Wolfsburg in the Football Oberliga Nord , where he reached 3rd place. In 1989 he moved to Hannover 96, who had been relegated from the 1st Bundesliga to the 2nd Bundesliga. He played from 1989 to 2003 for Hannover 96 in the regional soccer division North , the 2nd and 1st Bundesliga . For Hanover, he played 384 league games. Previous positions as a player were the Lüneburger SK and SV Eddelstorf.

The high point of his career was winning the DFB Cup in 1992 with the then second division Hannover 96, in which he played a decisive role as a goalkeeper in the penalty shoot-out . In the semifinals against Werder Bremen, he converted the last penalty for Hannover in a penalty shoot-out and then held the last penalty shot by Marco Bode from Bremen. In the cup final against Borussia Mönchengladbach he saved two penalties. Since then he has been considered "the cup hero" in the Hanover media. In the 2000/01 season Sievers was also voted best second division keeper.

He had his only appearance on an international level in the European Cup Winners' Cup of the 1992/93 season, in which Hanover met the only other German team, the defending champions Werder Bremen , in the first round . Here, despite a 2-1 win in the second leg, 96 narrowly missed progress due to a 3-1 defeat in the first leg.

In 2003 Jörg Sievers ended his career as a Bundesliga player at Hannover 96. He then became goalkeeping coach at Hannover 96. In the 2005/06 Bundesliga season he was on the reserve bench for a game, as 96 goalkeeper Robert Enke and substitute Frank Juric were injured and the third goalkeeper Morten Jensen was between the posts. In the second team of Hannover 96 he occasionally jumped in as a substitute goalkeeper, most recently at the age of 44 on March 6, 2010 in the regional league match against Tennis Borussia Berlin.

In September 2012, at the age of 46, he was reactivated for the national league team Teutonia Uelzen , trained by his brother Ralf, to represent their red-banned goalkeeper. He had his first league game on September 9, 2012. In January 2020, after more than 30 years of club membership, he left Hannover 96 and moved to the Scottish first division club Heart of Midlothian as assistant coach of his former teammate Daniel Stendel . He left the club after relegation in late June 2020.

Jörg Sievers played 17 games in the Bundesliga and 367 games in the second Bundesliga for Hannover 96 between 1989 and 2003. Sievers played a total of 450 games (including the DFB-Pokal and Regional League) for Hanover and is second after Peter Anders in the all-time list of record players for Hanover 96.
