Club career

Freiburg

Decheiver joined Bundesliga side SC Freiburg from Go Ahead Eagles in winter 1995 for a reported transfer fee of DM 700,000, signing a contract until 1997.[2][3] Upon his arrival, the club ranked last in the Bundesliga table but finished the season in 11th spot with Decheiver contributing 11 goals.[4][5] Two of these goals came in March 1996 as Freiburg managed a rare win against Bayern Munich.[4][5] At the end of the 1996–97 season, with Freiburg relegated from the Bundesliga, Decheiver parted in anger with the club after receiving criticism for his defensive work.[2][4] During his time at Freiburg, he was nicknamed "Knipser" and scored a total of 21 goals in 49 appearances for the club across all competitions.[6]
