Zimmermann was a youth product of Bayer Leverkusen. He spent his playing career at Arminia Hannover, TSV Havelse, Borussia Mönchengladbach II, Carl Zeiss Jena, Eintracht Braunschweig, VfB Lübeck, SC Verl, 1. FC Wunstorf and Germania Egestorf/Langreder.[2][3]
Zimmermann started his managerial career in 2011 at Germania Egestorf/Langreder as a player-manager. In his seven years as manager, he led the club from the sixth-tier Landesliga Hannover to the fourth-tier Regionalliga Nord.[4] The club managed to qualify for the 2016–17 DFB-Pokal, losing 0–6 against 1899 Hoffenheim in the first round.[5]
In 2018, Zimmermann was hired as the manager of TSV Havelse.[1] During his tenure, Havelse won the 2019–20 Lower Saxony Cup, earning qualification to the 2020–21 DFB-Pokal, where Havelse lost 1–5 in the first round against Bundesliga club Mainz 05.[6] In the abandoned 2020–21 Regionalliga Nord season, Havelse was ranked third and earned qualification to the promotion play-offs after Weiche Flensburg and Werder Bremen II did not apply for 3. Liga licenses.[7]
On 10 May 2021, Zimmermann was announced as manager of Hannover 96 starting from the 2021–22 season.[4] He was sacked on 29 November 2021.[8]
