Olaf Seier , called "Leo", (born November 25, 1958 in Rostock ) is a former German football player and coach.
Player career
The midfielder began his football career in 1970 at SG Dynamo Rostock-Mitte . Two years later he moved to the youth department of BFC Dynamo . When top club of the SV Dynamo , he also developed the GDR youth international and denied 1,976 nine games for the U-18 selection of the DFV .
In the second half of the 1979/1980 season , he made the leap into the first men's team of the league club and reigning GDR champions with the "Weinroten" team . Of the 14 second round games, he completed ten, most of them as a substitute. In the first half of the following season he was already in the starting line-up, but only made three appearances in the second half of the season before he stopped playing in the major league for almost a year. It was not until the second half of the 1981/1982 season that Seier was used again in the league, but was no longer part of the team in the following season . Therefore, Seier only made 35 league appearances in four seasons by 1983, in which he scored four goals, as well as four European Cup appearances (one goal).
He was able to celebrate four championships with Dynamo, even if he was no longer used in the league for the 5th BFC title in a row, that of 1983. One possible reason for his few missions could have been that he was viewed as a risk by the sports officials because of his Western relatives. When he was threatened with a life ban for the two top divisions, he moved to 1. FC Union Berlin with the help of former BFC coach Harry Nippert .
Although he came from the biggest rival of the Köpenicker , Seier has become the darling of Union fans over the years. Already in his first season 1983/1984 for FCU, Seier was a formative figure on the field. On the last day of the season he scored both goals for a 2-0 away win at Chemie Leipzig , which meant that both teams were relegated to avoid relegation if they were tied on points and goals . In both games the Leipzig just got the upper hand, and Union was relegated to the GDR league .
However, the Unioners managed to get promoted again immediately and were not only able to occupy a safe middle division place with Seier in the 1985/1986 season , but also succeeded in the cup competitions. On the one hand, the team reached the final of the FDGB Cup , which was lost 5-1 to 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig , and on the other hand played in the Intertoto Cup against international opponents. In the following years, however, the club increasingly got back into the relegation battle and in 1989 was finally unable to hold the class. After the "Iron" first failed to get promoted and in the 1990/1991 season missed qualification for the 2nd Bundesliga , "Leo" - as he was called by the fans because of his hairstyle - moved to Venezuela for FC Caracas . In the eight years at 1. FC Union, Seier played a total of 226 competitive games and scored 49 goals.
In Venezuela, however, Seier was initially unable to fight for a regular place. So he couldn't get past Salisu Ibrahim , the brother of Ali Ibrahim who played for Wattenscheid 09 . His team was very successful during this time and won the championship twice and the cup once. He participated with Caracas in 1993 in the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Conmebol . But he also felt the politically unstable situation in the country and experienced two coup attempts with open fire fights on the streets.
Three years later, Seier returned to Berlin at the beginning of the 1994/1995 season and played for the Bundesliga club 1. FC Lübars . After Lübars had just missed promotion to the Oberliga Nordost (they were level on points with the Berlin champions Köpenicker SC ), Seier moved to the association league competitor SV Preußen Berlin initially as a player-coach. However, it was not successful for SV Preußen due to financial problems. After relegation was barely prevented in 1996, Prussia took last place in the following year (Seier himself took over as coach during the winter break). In 1998, Olaf Seier finally ended his playing career and left the club , which has since been renamed Weißenseer FC .
Coaching career
Seer's first coaching position after the end of his career was the top division club Köpenicker SC , where he was hired in November 1998 and immediately achieved a secure midfield position. In the following season, the club could not achieve relegation under his leadership (due to a division reform only the top ten teams remained in the league) and Seier had to vacate his place shortly before the end of the season in April 2000. He then worked for a short time at the district league team Sportfreunde Johannisthal , but also had to vacate his chair there early.
From 2001 he was in charge of the national league team FSV Fortuna Pankow , with whom he made the leap into the association league straight away in the first season. But then things went downhill with the Pankowers, because the direct relegation from the association league was followed a year later by the fall from the regional league to the district league . After Seier failed to return to the national league in the 2004/2005 season, he left Fortuna and went back to his old club Union to look after the second men's team in the association league. After three years, his contract was not renewed there, so that Seier was again a coach at Köpenicker SC (also Association League) in July 2008. There he was released in September 2009 and joined the league competitor SV Empor Berlin until the end of the 2011 season.
Seier has been a youth coach at SV Kickers Barnim since January 2012 , where he built up a men's team. In addition, in the summer of 2012 he also became the coach of the men's team at Rotation Prenzlauer Berg (Berlin District League B), moved to BSV Heinersdorf in 2017 and left this club after just one season.
