He left Schweinfurt to return to Mannheim on 7 February 2005.[14] He signed a contract to the end of the season.[14] He eventually extended his contract and stayed until the end of the 2005–06 season.[15] During the 2005–06 season, on 27 April 2006, it was announced that Ulrich would become head coach of FC Nöttingen after the season.[15] His last match in charge was a 3–1 win against Nöttingen on 27 May 2006.[16] He left Nöttingen on 4 January 2007.[17] He then became head coach of SC Fürstenfeldbruck on 15 January 2007[18] and was there until 17 April 2007 when Mannheim hired Ulrich as head coach for the third time.[19] Ulrich was replaced by Dieter Heimen in June 2007.[20] On 18 June 2009, Bayern announced that Ulrich was an assistant coach for Mehmet Scholl.
