Gertjan Verbeek (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɣɛrtɕɑɱ vərˈbeːk]; born 1 August 1962) is a Dutch former professional footballer who last managed Eerste Divisie side Almere City.

Coaching career

[edit]

Netherlands

[edit]

After retiring from his playing career in 1994, Verbeek stayed with SC Heerenveen as an assistant-coach. He left for Heracles Almelo in 2001, and after a successful stint there was hired as the successor to Foppe de Haan with SC Heerenveen. In 2008, he was hired by Feyenoord, but was fired after clashing with players a few months into his tenure.[1] He moved to Heracles Almelo for the 2009–2010 season, and after guiding them to a 6th-place finish in the Eredivisie, AZ hired him for the 2010–2011 season. Verbeek caused controversy in December 2011 in a 2011–12 KNVB Cup match against Ajax by leading AZ off the pitch in protest at having their goalkeeper Esteban Alvarado sent off for retaliating against a pitch invader.[2] The game was consequently abandoned. On 29 September 2013, AZ fired him due to lack of chemistry with the players.[3]

Germany

[edit]

The German football club 1. FC Nürnberg hired him on 22 October 2013,[4] giving him the first coaching opportunity outside of Netherlands, with a contract until 30 June 2015.[5] However, he was sacked on 23 April 2014.[6] On 22 December 2014, the VfL Bochum announced signing Verbeek as head coach, starting 1 January 2015.[7] In his return to Nuremberg on 23 March 2015, Bochum defeated 1. FC Nürnberg 2–1.[8] He was sacked on 11 July 2017.[9]

FC Twente

[edit]

On 29 October 2017 he returned to management in his native Holland, where he signed with FC Twente, which was going through a disastrous campaign of the 2017-18 Eredivisie.[10] On 26 March, after 149 days, Verbeek was fired as FC Twente's manager, with the team at the bottom of the table with six games remaining of the season.[11][12]

Adelaide United

[edit]

On 23 May 2019, Verbeek was officially announced as Marco Kurz' replacement as manager for A-League club Adelaide United.[13] Verbeek led Adelaide United to their third FFA Cup victory by defeating Melbourne City 4–0 at Coopers Stadium.[14] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Verbeek took a leave of absence to return home to the Netherlands indefinitely while still being under contract with the club.[15] Verbeek and Adelaide United decided to mutually part ways on 29 April 2020.[16]
