Management career

Meinert coached various German youth national teams for the German Football Association (DFB) from 2005 to 2019.[3] In 2018, the DFB asked Meinert to become head coach of the Germany women's national football team after dismissing Steffi Jones, but she turned down the opportunity for personal reasons.[4] Less than a year later, the DFB surprisingly chose not to extend Meinert's contract.[5]

After her departure from the DFB, Meinert was linked to many high-profile positions, including the head coach position at the Irish national team and the assistant position at the United States national team.[6]
