Jaspert represented SF Kladow, Hertha Zehlendorf, SC Wacker 04 Berlin, Preußen Wilmersdorf [de], SC Rapide Wedding, Weddinger FC, SC Westend 1901, NSC Marathon 02 and Tennis Borussia Berlin II during an amateur playing career based solely in Berlin.[3][4]
In 1996, Jaspert became manager of Tennis Borussia's reserve team, and was later promoted to the role of head coach of the first team on 16 November 2000. After a run of seven straight defeats in the Regionalliga Nord, Jaspert was replaced in March 2001 by Friedhelm Haebermann.[5]
During the 2001–02 season, Jaspert was assistant manager to Pierre Littbarski at MSV Duisburg[4]—a role in which he also functioned from 2004 until 2005 under Jo Bonfrere for the South Korea national team.[6][7]
After a short break from football, Jaspert took over the reins of Lebanese Premier League team Ahed. In June 2007, Jaspert survived a bombing at the hotel he was staying at in Beirut as he was not home at the time.[6] The bombing killed the politician Walid Eido, and two footballers of Al Ahed's rivals Nejmeh.[6]
Jaspert became Littbarski's assistant again in 2008, this time in Iran for Saipa and later for Liechtenstein's Vaduz.[2]
In January 2012, Jaspert was announced as a joint manager of Croatian club Karlovac alongside Krešimir Ganjto after the club was taken over by German company Haag Sportmanagement, but the deal never took place.[8][9]
On 22 March 2021, Jaspert was appointed head coach of Ansar, following the dismissal of Abdul-Wahab Abu Al-Hail.[10] He helped his team win their first league title since 2007, and 14th overall, by beating rivals Nejmeh in the Beirut derby in the last matchday of the 2020–21 season.[11] also helped Ansar win the double, beating Nejmeh in the 2020–21 Lebanese FA Cup final on penalty shoot-outs.[12] The two titles were Jaspert's first.[13]
Jaspert's contract was renewed on 4 July 2021.[14] After a series of negative results in the first half of the 2021–22 season, Jaspert submitted his resignation.[15]
