In 1991, he was transferred to FC Schalke 04 and he established himself as an important midfield player.
Schalke were forced to sell Freund due to financial reasons in 1993 to Borussia Dortmund where he stayed until 1998.
During his time at Dortmund, he won the league twice in 1995 and 1996 and gained a Champions League medal in 1997, but was left out of the squad for the final altogether.
Between 1995 and 1998, he won 21 caps for the Germany national team.
He was capped 21 times for his country and played a significant part in Germany's UEFA Euro 1996 winning campaign.

Freund started his career at Stahl Brandenburg, coming through their youth system.
He has said that the Stasi made an unsuccessful attempt to recruit him as an informer during his time at the club.
He won UEFA Euro 1996 with Germany, where he missed out on a place in the final because of an injury in their semi-final win over England.
In December 1998, Freund transferred to English Premiership club Tottenham Hotspur.

During his time with the London club, he won the League Cup in 1999, starting in the center of midfield in Spurs's 1–0 win over Leicester City.
He stayed at the club until 2003, and despite never scoring a goal in 131 appearances across all competitions, he became a firm fans favourite at the club for his heart, work ethic and commitment.
In 2006, he appeared alongside Boris Becker in a special England v. Germany edition of the popular panel show They Think It's All Over.

A year later he began managing the German U-17 team leading them to a runners up medal at the 2011 UEFA European U-17 Football Championship and a third place at the World Cup in Mexico.
He then started working with the new generation of U-16 players.
