Playing career

Meier's career as a player was spent mostly at SV Werder Bremen where he played first team football from 1980–1990. During this time he also made 16 appearances for West Germany in midfield scoring twice.[1]

Meier ended his playing days at Borussia Mönchengladbach, where he played two and a half years.[2]

Coaching career

Borussia Mönchengladbach

Meier started his coaching career by taking over the reserve side of Borussia Mönchengladbach on 1 July 1996.[3] Meier coached them until 30 November 1997.[3] Meier coached the senior squad between 1 December 1997 and 1 April 1998.[3] Meier rejoined the reserve team on 1 July 1998.[3]

MSV Duisburg

Meier officially took over for MSV Duisburg on 1 January 2003.[4] Meier is most recently noted as coach at MSV Duisburg when he lost his temper in their match against 1. FC Köln on 6 December 2005.[5] In the 82nd minute, Meier was arguing with Köln's Albert Streit when Meier suddenly fell down. Referee Manuel Gräfe sent Streit off with a red card. After the incident was reviewed on television, it became clear that it had not been Streit who hit Meier, but that Meier was play-acting. In fact, Meier had given Streit a headbutt. The club sacked Meier on 8 December 2005.[6] The German FA banned him for three months from any management activities on 15 December 2005.
