Steffen Ziffert (born August 25, 1964 in Bad Lausick ) is a former German soccer player . In the top division of GDR football , the Oberliga , he played for FC Karl-Marx-Stadt . After the fall of the Berlin Wall he was also on the field for Chemnitz and FC Carl Zeiss Jena in the 2nd Bundesliga . He later worked as a football coach in the youth field and as an official.

Athletic career

Young talent and GDR league

Ziffert grew up in Bad Lausick, Saxony, and came to soccer as a student at the Geithain training center . From the 8th to 10th grade he was a student at the Leipzig children's and youth sports school and was one of the young footballers at 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig . Since he could not assert himself at FC, he began vocational training in Espenhain with a high school diploma as an electrician and joined the company sports community (BSG) activist Espenhain . There he was active until 1984 and last played in the third-class district league Leipzig . From 1984 to 1987 Ziffert belonged to the second division club TSG Chemie Markkleeberg , where he started as a midfielder, but from 1985 was used as a Libero . Despite his defensive positions, he came in the three Markkleeberger seasons to 14 championship goals.

League player

In the summer of 1987, FC Karl-Marx-Stadt (FCK) initiated the change from Ziffert to their own top division team . He should replace the long-term injured Libero Sven Koehler . In fact, the 1.85 m tall Ziffert was used as a pre-stopper from the beginning of the 1987/88 season . He played all of the league games in the first half of the season, then suffered a serious ankle injury and only played the last league game. 1988/89 Ziffert completed its most intense season. He was only missing in a league game and was used by coach Hans Meyer variably in defense and midfield. He also played in the cup final , having previously played three of the five cup games. In the final, which FCK lost 1-0 to BFC Dynamo, Ziffert was substituted on in the 58th minute. In the seasons 1989/90 and 1990/91 he was thrown back due to injuries, played only 14 and 12 times in the league. In these games he was now mainly called up in midfield.

2nd Bundesliga

With fifth place in the 1990/91 season, Ziffert's team, which had since been renamed Chemnitzer FC (CFC), qualified for the 2nd Bundesliga . Again handicapped by an injury, Ziffert was only able to play seven of the 22 games in the first half of the 1991/92 season. He played his last game for Chemnitz on November 8, 1991. In the match on the 17th match day between FC Carl Zeiss Jena and Chemnitzer FC (1: 1), he was substituted on in the 86th minute. After five seasons for FCK and CFC, in which he had played 72 league games with six goals and all eight games in the UEFA Cup (one goal), Ziffert moved to league rivals FC Carl Zeiss Jena in early 1992 .

Ziffert only played in Jena for half a year until the end of the 1991/92 season. After completing the first phase of the championship, FC Carl Zeiss had reached third place and thus qualified for a promotion round to the 1st Bundesliga. In the ten games Ziffert was used eight times and always played in midfield without scoring a goal. With fifth place at the end of the season, FC Carl Zeiss Jena clearly missed promotion and Ziffert ended his engagement in Jena.

FC Schaffhausen and end of career

From 1992 to 1995 Ziffert played for the Swiss second division club FC Schaffhausen . In the summer of 1995 he joined FC Sachsen Leipzig , for which he was active in the third-class regional league until 1998 . He then played for the amateur top division club SV 1919 Grimma until 2004 , where he was most recently player-coach.

coach

By 2008 Ziffert worked as owner of the DFB coaching license B as a base coach of the DFB in Grimma . From July to November 2008 he was the coach of the U-23 team at FC Energie Cottbus and then became head of the youth department. At the same time he founded the "Steffen Ziffert Football School" in Leipzig and acquired the DFB-A license.

In July 2012, he succeeded Thomas Matheja as head of the Erzgebirge Aue youth training center, where he was responsible for talent scouting and professional training. With the engagement of Tomislav Stipić as head coach at Erzgebirge Aue, he took over the role of assistant coach of the second division team of Erzgebirge Aue, after having acted as their interim coach.
