From the 2007/08 season, Lieberknecht worked as a junior coordinator and A-youth coach at Eintracht Braunschweig.

After coach Benno Möhlmann's resignation on May 12, 2008, he took over the training of the first team for the last three games of the 2007/08 season and the 2008/09 season. Under him, the team managed to qualify for the newly founded 3rd league , which was almost lost , and tied with 1. FC Magdeburg in 11th place. Together with the club management and the new sporting director Marc Arnold , the club's policy was reoriented Eintracht Braunschweig. From now on, the company relied on continuity of personnel and a consolidation and austerity course, which also led to the fact that the club began to sign mostly talented young players from lower leagues.

After qualifying for the new, single-track 3rd division , Eintracht wanted to play a quiet season . With the initially controversial coach Lieberknecht, Braunschweig ended up in 13th place and had nothing to do with relegation. In the following season , Eintracht, which had started the season with little expectation, was much more successful and just barely missed the relegation as fourth in the table. After the good 2009/10 season, Lieberknecht and Arnold set themselves the goal of promotion within the next two seasons. This reached the Eintracht in the next season arithmetically six game days before the end of the season and was first in the table.

The topic of his thesis was the difficult balancing act between tradition and future at Eintracht Braunschweig .

However, the Braunschweiger Eintracht surpassed this goal and rose to second place in the Bundesliga at the end of the season. After 28 years, Eintracht Braunschweig returned to the first division. Despite the direct relegation , Lieberknecht kept his job and extended his contract term during the winter break until 2017, later until 2020, but not for the third division. In the 2016/17 season , Lieberknecht reached third place in the second division with Eintracht. The relegation against the Bundesliga-16 failed on renewed promotion . VfL Wolfsburg with two 0-1 defeats. In the following season, the Braunschweiger started as a promotion favorite, but fell short of expectations. On the last day of the 2017/18 season , Eintracht then slipped to 17th place in the table. After Eintracht's relegation from the second division, the club split from Lieberknecht on May 14, 2018 after ten years.
