Playing career

Sievers was in Römstedt, West Germany. He played for Hannover 96 for more than 10 years, and made a club record 384 league appearances, primarily playing in the 2. Bundesliga. He remained with the club through relegation to the Regionalliga and eventually played out his final season in the Bundesliga in 2002. His main career highlight with the club was perhaps winning the 1991–92 DFB-Pokal against Borussia Mönchengladbach, where he saved two crucial penalties during the shootout. On 6 March 2010, he made a comeback with the reserve team of Hannover 96.

Coaching career

In January 2020, Sievers joined up with Daniel Stendel at Heart of Midlothian working as an assistant manager.[2] The duo left in June 2020. A year later, in June 2021, Sievers once again joined up with Stendel, this time at French club Nancy.[3]
