Managerial career

Germania Egestorf/Langreder

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]

TSV Havelse

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]
