Johann Georg Friedrich "Fred" Grim (born August 17, 1965 in Amsterdam , Netherlands ) is a Dutch football coach and former goalkeeper .

Career

Players at Cambuur and Ajax

Grim began his career in the youth of JOS from the Watergraafsmeer district of Amsterdam . In 1984 he came from there to AFC Ajax and was also in the squad of the first team, but was not used in any game in the Eredivisie . During the current 1986/87 season, Cambuur coach Fritz Korbach brought him to Leeuwarden in the Eerste Divisie . Under the German trainer, he made his debut in the goal of the second division team in December 1986, as Oscar Zijlstra had sustained a back injury. Grim became a regular goalkeeper and stayed that way for almost seven years. At the end of his first season there was a good third place for last year's nineteenth, but the highlight for Grim was his first title: after four seasons in mediocrity, the team under coach Rob Baan became champions in the 1991/92 season and rose to the Eredivisie on. With relegation in 1994, Grim ended his time at SC Cambuur after 272 league games and went back to AFC Ajax.

At his old place of work, the same fate seemed destined to him as before, the substitute bench. From the time of his change to the end of the 1998/99 season , he came in five years only four times in the Eredivisie. It wasn't until the number one Edwin van der Sar moved to Juventus Turin that Grim became a regular goalkeeper at Ajax at the age of 34. He held this position for three years until he ended his active career at the end of the 2001/02 season by winning the double of the championship and the KNVB Cup . 128 games for the Amsterdam team, including 101 in the league, were up for him at this point. "It was difficult to quit after such a high point," he said later, "but that way I was able to pursue my ambitions to become a coach."

Trainer

Fred Grim's coaching career began seamlessly after his active time at AFC Ajax, initially as a goalkeeping coach in the youth field. In 2003 he made his trainer diploma. From July 2004 he was together with John van den Brom responsible for the second team of the Amsterdam Jong Ajax .

From 2007 to 2009 Grim worked as an assistant first to Gert Aandewiel , then to Foeke Booy at Sparta Rotterdam . In 2009 he returned to AFC Ajax; meanwhile he had acquired his professional trainer license. From 2010 he was coach of the A-youth team at Ajax, his contract ran until 2014. In the 2010/11 season he was also assistant coach for the Dutch U-19 national team. In October 2012 he moved to the second division Almere City FC as a coach .

In 2015 he was appointed coach of the Dutch U-21s before he started working as an assistant bond coach for the Dutch national team the following year . After the dismissal of the bond coach Danny Blind on March 26, 2017, Grim temporarily took over the senior national team for two games.
