Career

As a player

Lokomotive Leipzig
.

In his youth Steffen Heidrich played for BSG Messgeräte Beierfeld

VfB Leipzig, just promoted to the Bundesliga. Heidrich played thirty times in the Bundesliga scoring four goals, as VfB were relegated. He remained with the club for four years, where he was a regular first-team player and a consistent goalscorer. However, they suffered a second relegation in 1998, and Heidrich moved on to FC Energie Cottbus, who had been promoted in their place. He captained Energie to their first ever promotion to the Bundesliga in 2000, but only made two appearances in the top flight, and left at the end of the 2000–01 season, joining Dynamo Dresden. He helped Dynamo earn promotion to the 2. Liga in 2004, but injury restricted him to just eight appearances, and he retired in 2005.[2]

Erzgebirge Aue. From 1 June 2006 to 10 August 2009, the former leading player took over the position of manager in Lausitz. With his resignation as manager, he assumed responsibility for the relegation to the 2nd division. On 9 January 2012, FC Erzgebirge Aue introduced Heidrich as the new sports director in a press conference. After the team had only picked up one point from five games, the club announced the separation from Heidrich on 4 March 2013.[6]
