Uwe "Zico" Bindewald[1] (born 13 August 1968) is a German former professional footballer who played as a defender.[2] He works now as assistant manager of Eintracht Frankfurt's U19 team.

Career

Bindewald's footballing career began at FSV Dorheim. Other early clubs included SG Melbach-Södel and Kickers Offenbach before he moved in 1986 to Eintracht Frankfurt. After he failed to receive a new contract for the Frankfurt side in 2004, he moved to 1. FC Eschborn. He finished his playing career after the 2004–05 season.

In spite of his role as a defender, Bindewald is regarded a very fair player, having only received one red card in the entirety of his career. In total he played 263 games in the Bundesliga and 123 in the 2. Bundesliga.[3]

In 2008, he worked as assistant manager of Eintracht Frankfurt's Under 19 team, but he decided not to prolong his contract after five months due to financial reasons.[4] In summer 2010, he started working again as assistant manager, this time for Eintracht Frankfurt's Under 23 team.[4]

Despite his long career and regarded as a reliable defender Bindewald never was capped for the Germany national team.
