Röber's Bundesliga career lasted 12 years with a one year interruption, when he played in Canada and England. His greatest success as a player was winning the national German championship with Bayern Munich in 1981. He played as a midfielder.
Röber started his manager career in 1991 at the club where he had ended his active career, Rot-Weiss Essen. His Bundesliga debut as manager was in 1994 with the VfB Stuttgart. His most successful time so far was as coach of Hertha BSC. In 1997, he led the team to promotion, only two years later Hertha finished at third position and made their entry into the Champions League.
After two more engagements at VfL Wolfsburg and Partizan he signed at Borussia Dortmund in December 2006. On 12 March 2007 he resigned, because he said he wasn't able "to reach the team".
Röber was with Saturn Ramenskoye from 21 August 2008[2] to 15 May 2009.[3] Röber signed for Ankaraspor in summer 2009.
