Career

Early career

[edit | edit source]

In the summer of 2019 he became assistant coach of VfB Stuttgart.[2] On 11 October 2022, Wimmer took over as head coach of VfB Stuttgart on interim basis until December 2022.[3][4] Wimmer finished his interim role with a record of four wins, one draw, and three losses.[5]

Austria Wien

[edit | edit source]

He became the new head coach of Austria Wien on 3 January 2023.[6] His first match was a 3–1 win against Austria Klagenfurt.[7] On 21 July 2023, Austria Wien started the 2023–24 season with a 7–0 away victory over SV Spittal/Drau in the Austrian Cup.[8] On 13 May 2024, he was dismissed following a 4–0 home defeat against Wolfsberger AC with only one matchday remaining in the season during the relegation round, in which the club was in eighth place in the overall table.[9][10]

In December 2024, Wimmer was identified as the leading candidate for the vacant manager's position at English League One club Bristol Rovers,[11] however the club were unable to secure a work permit to allow the appointment to go through.[12]

Motherwell

[edit | edit source]

On 17 February 2025, Wimmer was appointed manager of Scottish Premiership club Motherwell.[13]

SSV Jahn Regensburg

[edit | edit source]

On 23 May 2025, Wimmer was appointed head coach of newly relegated 3. Liga club SSV Jahn Regensburg on a two-year deal.[14] Having returned to Germany after Motherwell's last match of the season, he attributed his decision to major family reasons that had recently arisen.[15]
