Robin Veldman returns to Heerenveen as a trainer!

Robin Veldman, the 39-year-old coach, decided to leave Club NXT and to take a new challenge at SC Heerenveen. Loud Voetbalprimeur Veldman looks back on a successful season with Club NXT, which achieved strong results and appealing level in Challenger Pro League. Internally, there was great confidence in his skills, and a plan for his further development within the association also existed.

Under his direction, Club NXT made it into the last 16 of the Champions League. Nevertheless, the decision to leave the club was difficult for him. Ultimately, the overall package at Heerenveen, both in a sporty and personal point of view, was the decisive factor for his change. Veldman had previously worked as a youth coach at Heerenveen. After talking to the technical manager Johan Hansma, he was convinced that now the right time was to return to Friesland.

The decision to go to SC Heerenveen will be officially presented tomorrow. Like Sporza reported, Veldman will take over the management of the association, which is currently taking the 10th place in the Eredivisie. He succeeds Robin van Persie, who has switched to Feyenoord. Veldman worked in Belgium for four years, among others at Anderlecht and Queen’s Park FC, before returning to SC Heerenveen.

After his commitment to Anderlecht, Veldman was first coach of the futures and later took on the role of the main coach after the dismissal of Felice Mazzu. After his departure from Anderlecht, Brian Riemer became his successor and Veldman was his assistant. Now Club NXT is faced with the challenge of finding a new trainer, since the club is currently ranked in the 6th place of the Challenger Pro League.
