Voigt eventually succeeded Herbert Schoen as the coach of BFC Dynamo in The Next Generation Oberliga (German: Nachwuchsoberliga) (de) in 1981.[20] The reserve teams of the 14 DDR-Oberliga clubs had no longer been allowed to participate in the second tier DDR-Liga after the 1975–76 season. The Next Generation Oberliga was introduced instad. The team of BFC Dynamo under Voigt finished the 1982–83 Next Generation Oberliga as runner-up.

BFC Dynamo joined 1983–84 Bezirksliga Berlin with reserve team BFC Dynamo II. BFC Dynamo II under Voigt finished the 1983–84 Bezirksliga Berlin in first place and won promotion to the DDR-Liga. The team then participated in the 1984–85 DDR-Liga Staffel A.[21] Voigt successfully led the reserve team in the DDR-Liga.

He was replaced by Uwe Reinders in 1990. The club wanted a coach from West Germany. Reinders continued to build on Voigt's work. Hansa Rostock eventually became East German champions in the 1990–91 season.
