Silvia Edith Maria Neid (born 2 May 1964) is a German former professional football player and manager. She is one of the most successful players in German women's football, having won seven national championships and six DFB-Pokal trophies. Between 2005 and 2016, Neid served as the head coach of the Germany women's national team. She was the FIFA World Women's Coach of the Year in 2010, 2013 and 2016.

Playing career

Neid's career as a player began at SV Schlierstadt, later renamed to Klinge Seckach. She stayed with the club until 1983 when she signed up with SSG Bergisch Gladbach, then the dominant team in German football. She won the double with SSG in 1984, but moved to TSV Siegen after a title-less 1985 season. The club enjoyed its most successful years during Neid's tenure, winning six championships and five cups. When Gerd Neuser stopped coaching Siegen in 1994, Neid requested a transfer to SG Praunheim, but the club refused.{{cite web | title = Silvia Neid, die erfolgreichste deutsche Fußballerin | publisher = biografien-news.blog.de | date = 22 August 2006 | access-date = 2009-07-30 | url = http://biografien-news.blog.de/2006/08/22/silvia_neid_die_erfolgreichste_deutsche_~1059712/ | language = de | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090914101209/http://biografien-news.blog.de/2006/08/22/silvia_neid_die_erfolgreichste_deutsche_~1059712/ | archive-date = 14 September 2009 }} Neid retired after the 1996 season.

As a German international, Neid made her debut on 10 November 1982 against Switzerland. She scored two goals in the match, the first of which came just one minute after she had entered the pitch.{{cite web | title = Statistics | publisher = DFB | access-date = 2009-07-30 | url = https://www.dfb.de/index.php?id=500407&lang=E&action=showPlayer&liga=Frauen-Nationalmannschaft&vorname=&nachname=Neid&cHash=8d11ef9ed1}} Neid won the UEFA Women's Championship three times in succession between 1989 and 1995, and reached the final of the 1995 FIFA Women's World Cup. Her last game was at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta against Brazil.
