Oliver Pagé (born April 10, 1971 in Nickenich) is a former German soccer player and today's coach .
The 1.91 m tall defender played a total of nine Bundesliga games for Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Dynamo Dresden before voluntarily ending his playing career. He then became pastor of a free church and is now also a trainer.
Career
In his youth, the son of a German mother and a Nigerian father played from 1978 to 1986 in his home town of Nickenich ( Mayen-Koblenz district ) for the local sports association. In addition to football, he also did athletics and was the Rhineland-Palatinate champion in the long jump in 1986. In 1986/87 he played for a year at SpVgg Andernach .
Player career
At the age of 16, Pagé moved to Bayer 04 Leverkusen in 1987 . There he made his debut in the Bundesliga on December 2, 1988 as a 17-year-old when he came on for Marek Leśniak in the 74th minute of the 0-0 draw against 1. FC Kaiserslautern . In the following year he was also a member of the German U18 national team . In total, Pagé played five more games for the factory club and was always in the starting line-up, but his breakthrough was denied due to various injuries. On February 23, 1991, he scored his only Bundesliga goal in a game against FC Bayern Munich (final score 1: 2). During his time in Leverkusen, Pagé met his teammate Jorginho , who invited him to the Bible study group and thereby brought him closer to the Christian faith.
For the 1991/92 season Pagé moved to Dynamo Dresden for a fee of 450,000 marks , for which he was used in three more Bundesliga games. In post-reunification Saxony, however, he found himself repeatedly exposed to racist hostility. A year later he left Dresden again and moved to the regional division Rot-Weiss Essen , with whom he was promoted to the 2nd division in 1993 .
Career as a coach and pastor
After the second division ascent of Essen, Pagé refused to extend his contract and declared his career in professional football over at the age of 22. Instead, he was trained at a theological academy in England to pastor a free church . After his ordination as a pastor, he entered the coaching business as a hobby, initially as a junior coach at his home club in Nickenich. He then moved to Stuttgart in 1999, where he helped build the Christian Sports Club in Stuttgart as player coach, department head and vice president , with which he was promoted to the district league within three years. In addition, he was involved in the Baden-Württemberg state capital in the initiative Sportler calls Sportler and was active as a pastor for top athletes. However, he turned down an offer to work as a sporting development aid worker for FIFA for professional and family reasons.
In 2003 he successfully completed his MA at the German branch of Columbia International University . In the football coaching field, he obtained the C license in Stuttgart in 2001 and the B trainer license in 2003. Then he moved with his family to the Westerwald , where he worked as a supra-congregational preacher and also coached the Rhineland league club VfL Hamm / Sieg . In 2004 he also received the A license. He worked on victory from 2003 to 2005, with his team becoming runner-up in the 2003/2004 season. After the 2004/2005 season, Pagé ended his engagement in Hamm .
In 2007 he successfully took part in the UEFA Pro license ( football teacher ) course at the Hennes-Weisweiler Academy in Cologne , together with former professional footballers such as Zvonimir Soldo , Michael Rummenigge , Ciriaco Sforza and Mario Basler . In the course of his apprenticeship, Pagé spent two weeks at SV Werder Bremen alongside Thomas Schaaf and his former colleague Wolfgang Rolff . He completed the course with a final grade of 2.0. In the 2007/08 season he then trained the U-23 of Sportfreunde Siegen, who played in the fifth division .
As part of the sponsorship of sports by the Federal Foreign Office , the German Football Association and the German Olympic Sports Confederation , Pagé was deployed abroad from the beginning of 2009. From 2009 he coached the Kenyan first division club Nairobi City Stars , which he led to fourth place in the Hinserie. He also held regular coaching courses there, including for women, and supported a football project for orphans and half-orphans in the Nyanza province . He left the club after six months, however, because the club did not keep promises made after the third month. In the following time he worked on various projects in Sri Lanka and Ethiopia . From 2011 Pagé lived in Egypt , where he was the technical director and head coach of a football academy. In January 2012 he also sat next to Walter Meeuws at the Egyptian first division club Wadi Degla SC .
In October 2012 Pagé returned to Siegen Sportfreunde and took on a role in coordinating youth work at the Westphalian regional league team. From November 2012 he also took over the coaching position for the B-Jugend der Sportfreunde, who played in the Bundesliga , but was unable to prevent relegation at the end of the season. On January 8, 2014, Pagé succeeded Matthias Hagner, who had changed as head coach to the first team, as coach of the U-23 team of Sportfreunde.
A few weeks later, however, Pagé left the Siegener and went back to Kenya, where he signed a two-year contract as head coach on January 29, 2014 with the first division promoted Nakuru AllStars . In November 2014 - initially until the end of the year - he took over the coaching position at the A-Jugend of the JSG Kalteiche.
Since September 2018 Pagé has been the sporting director of the Rot-Weiß Oberhausen junior performance center ( Football Regionalliga West ).
