Fritz in a club statement: “Peter is our absolute preferred candidate for this position. He brings everything to the role at Werder, both personally and professionally. His experience as a player, but also as a sports director and managing director will certainly help us. From the new season onwards, he will focus intensively on professional matters, have close contact with the team, the functional team and the coaching team and make decisions and take responsibility there.
Niemeyer was a Werder player for many years and moved to Hertha BSC, where he was even captain.

A strange scene made him really famous: the accidental wiping of referee Bibiana Steinhaus (45).
It was like this: On the 7th matchday of the 2010/2011 second division season, the then Hertha clearer touched the referee’s chest in the middle of the game. What looks like intentional later in the photo is actually an accidental touch.
Both later smile about the unusual scene that amuses the whole of football Germany.
Niemeyer: “She was standing a little further away than I thought, I wanted to give her a pat on the shoulder. But you also have to entertain the spectators a little.” Steinhaus, who now works for the English Referees Association: “We ran past each other and touched each other. This was not an unusual situation for him or me. I think you can leave it with a wink.”

Finally official! Niemeyer is the new professional boss at Werder
After his professional career he changed Niemeyer into the management area. With Münster he first achieved promotion from the regional league to the 3rd league. Now he is about to move through to League 2 with the Bundesliga founding member. In the summer he will move to the club with which he won the DFB Cup as a player in 2009.
Niemeyer: “I am very pleased that I can return to Bremen in the role of head of professional football. I have a lot of positive memories of Werder, and when the club approached me with the request, I was immediately attracted. The constellation in working with Clemens was also a crucial point for me.”
