Career

Bremser spent two seasons in the Bundesliga with MSV Duisburg and Bayer 05 Uerdingen.

Coaching career

In the 2000/01 season, Bremser became assistant coach to Uwe Erkenbrecher at VfB Lübeck. [3] After Erkenbrecher's dismissal in November 2000, Bremser was promoted to head coach on interim basis, until March 2001, before returning to his role as assistant coach following the appointment of Dieter Hecking. Under Hecking and Bremser, VfB were promoted to the 2. Bundesliga in 2002. After the 2003/04 season, in which they only lost in the semi-finals of the DFB Cup to eventual double winners SV Werder Bremen, Lübeck were relegated back to the Regionalliga Nord.

He and Hecking moved to 2. Bundesliga club Alemannia Aachen for the 2004/05 season. [4] They were promoted to the Bundesliga in the 2005/06 season. Following Dieter Hecking's move to Hannover 96 in September 2006, he initially continued to work as interim manager and coached the team in the DFB Cup match against Chemnitzer FC. After Alemannia Aachen announced the appointment of Michael Frontzeck as Hecking's successor on 13 November 2006, Bremser left the club. [5] From September 2006 to August 2009, Bremser worked with Hecking as assistant coach at Hannover 96, then assisted Hecking's successor Andreas Bergmann and then had to make way for the new coaching team led by Mirko Slomka on 20 January 2010.

On 7 February 2010 Bremer was announced as assistant coach of 1. FC Nürnberg, where he again assisted Hecking. [6] On 1 January 2013 he moved to VfL Wolfsburg as assistant coach. [7] He thus followed "his boss" Dieter Hecking once again to what was now their fifth stint together. They won the DFB Cup together in 2015. In October 2016, he was released from VfL Wolfsburg together with Dieter Hecking. [8] On 4 January 2017 Bremser was introduced as the new assistant coach of Borussia Mönchengladbach, again assisting Dieter Hecking.

For the 2019/20 season, Hecking and Bremser moved to second-division club Hamburger SV in their usual constellation. [9] They finished in 4th place and missed out on promotion back to the Bundesliga. Hecking and Bremser's contract would only have been automatically extended by one year if they had been promoted. Sports director Jonas Boldt was unable to reach an agreement with Hecking on further cooperation, so Bremser also left HSV with him. [10] While Hecking became sports director of second division club 1. FC Nürnberg for the 2020/21 season, Bremser took a one-year break.

For the 2021-22 season, Bremser became assistant coach to Ole Werner at Holstein Kiel. [3] After a bad start with five points from the first seven games, Werner resigned as head coach, whereupon Bremser took over the team on an interim basis. [11] He coached the team in a 2-1 win over SC Paderborn 07 and a 2-0 defeat to Hansa Rostock and then moved back to the assistant coach position under new head coach Marcel Rapp. [12]
