Eintracht Braunschweig in 1988-1989. After two seasons with Braunschweig he departed from the club, taking overFC Hansa Rostock inEast Germany 's "NOFV Oberliga Nordost", previously known asDDR-Oberliga . AsEast Germany 'sDeutscher Fußball-Verband was to finally merge into Deutscher Fußball Bund after that, the 1990-91 season worked out to be the factor for those formerDDR-Oberliga clubs to enqueue into the German soccer league structure. Under Reinders guidance Rostock won the final edition of the "East German Cup" (againstFC Stahl Eisenhüttenstadt ) and also grabbed the "NOFV Oberliga Nordost" title, which meant the team qualified to start in the Bundesliga in the 1991-1992 season. Enjoying a fantastic start to the 1991-1992 season, Rostock's form slumped massively and, with the threat of relegation rising, let the club sack him onMarch 6 , 1992.Just a month later he was back in charge of a Bundesliga outfit, successing
Willibert Kremer at fellow relegation threatenedMSV Duisburg . Reinders failed to avoid relegation with them. The begin of the then next season saw Reinders keep on at MSV, but onOctober 21 ,1993 , he left the Ruhr club to take charge of fellow 2nd Bundesliga sideHertha BSC Berlin . A job in which he lasted only five months before the faced the sack. It took nearly eight years to enable him a return to management in the top division of German football. OnOctober 25 ,2002 ,Eintracht Braunschweig of 2nd Bundesliga re-appointed Reinders as manager, he succeededPeter Vollmann at the just re-promoted club. However, he couldn't keep Braunschweig up and was, following an uninspiring run through the lower Regionalliga Nord, sacked by them onMarch 2 , 2004.Reinders' next job was "SV Frisia Brinkum", a club promoted to the fourth tier of German soccer, Oberliga Nord, at the start of the 2005-2006 season. Yet, he wasn't for long their manager, he resigned from his role mid-way through their campaign at a time when the club was only second from bottom with just seven points in the bank.
