Adrianus Cornelis "Adrie" Koster (born November 18, 1954 in Zierikzee ) is a former Dutch football player and today's coach .

Player career

As an active footballer, Adrie Koster played for Roda Kerkrade and PSV Eindhoven . In total, he played almost 100 honorary division games there . On October 2, 1982, he ended his professional career at the age of 27.

National team

During his time at Kerkrade, Koster also completed three international matches for the Dutch national football team in 1978 . His first against Iceland on September 20th and his last against Germany on December 20th . At the European Football Championship in 1980 he was part of the squad, but was not used in any of the three group games.

Coaching career

Three years after the end of his playing career, Adrie Koster started in the coaching business. First station was the second division club FC Eindhoven , where he worked as an assistant coach for a year . Then he went to the first division club Willem II Tilburg , where he worked alongside Piet de Visser . After the club had found itself under his leadership two seasons in relegation battle, the management of the Koster team was transferred. But even under him there was no success, so that he was in office for barely a year and was again replaced by de Visser in 1991.

In 1991 Koster went to Roda Kerkrade , where he was already active as a player. Two years later, Huub Stevens replaced him as head coach and Koster went back to the second division to join Helmond Sport . Until 1997 he coached another club with TOP Oss before moving to Excelsior Rotterdam . Koster had his longest employment there and in 2002 he was promoted to the honorary division . The class could not be held, however, and Koster was dismissed. In the following season he made it with VVV Venlo in the relegation games, but could not lead the club into the first division. The next stop was the RKC Waalwijk , where Koster was dismissed after a year of commitment due to unsuccessfulness.

In 2007 he became a youth coach in the youth department of Ajax Amsterdam . When the then head coach of the first team, Henk ten Cate , moved to Chelsea , Koster was appointed as his successor. From the 2008/09 season he was replaced by the new Ajax coach Marco van Basten and only trained the club's second team. From the 2009/10 season he was the new head coach at the traditional Belgian club FC Bruges . On October 30, 2011 he was released from his duties in Bruges after a series of 4 defeats in a row. His successor was the German trainer Christoph Daum . In the summer of 2012, Koster took over the reins of Belgian first division club Beerschot AC , but was released in November of the same year.

In 2014, Koster followed Albert Stuivenberg as the coach of Jong Oranje , the Dutch U-21 national team . His debut in early September 2014 ended with a "painful" 0-1 home defeat in the European Championship qualification against the Georgian U-21 team, which had been beaten 6-0 under its predecessor in Georgia.

On November 25, 2014, Koster became Huub Stevens' assistant at VfB Stuttgart . On June 30, 2015, he left VfB Stuttgart again.

On August 26, 2015, Koster became Bert van Marwijk's assistant for the Saudi Arabian national soccer team .
