Alphons Maria Eric Patrick van der Luer (born August 16, 1965 in Maastricht , Netherlands ) is a Dutch football coach and former professional player.

Career

Van der Luer grew up in Maastricht in the province of Limburg . There he started playing soccer at the age of five. His first club was RKASV Maastricht in the Amby district. Later he also played for the youth of the Maastricht professional club MVV .

“De kleine blonde dood” (“the little blonde death”) or “het dravertje” (“the trotter”), as van der Luer was often called by fans and journalists, stayed in his home in the southeast of the Netherlands most of the time loyal throughout his career as a professional footballer. He completed his first assignment in the senior sector in 1982 at the age of 16. The midfielder, who most recently played mainly in a central defensive position (as a so-called "six"), made his debut for MVV in the 1982/82 season in the Eerste Divisie and was active with the Maastrichters for five seasons until 1987, with whom he entered the Eredivisie in 1984 promotion and relegation two seasons later. The first contract brought him an annual salary of 7,500 guilders .

After five years, van der Luer switched to Roda JC . The Kerkraders paid MVV 100,000 guilders for him. First, however, he was loaned to FC Assent in the Belgian Second Division for a year . He returned for the 1988/89 season, became a regular at Roda JC and soon became a crowd favorite in Kerkrade, where he was active for 14 seasons and celebrated his greatest successes. During this time, he won the Dutch Cup twice with the team , in 1997 and 2000, and was runner-up behind AFC Ajax in 1995 .

418 league games and more than two dozen cup games under nine coaches, including Huub Stevens and Martin Jol , van der Luer completed for Roda. He was also able to gain international experience in his first season: in the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1988/89 he reached the quarter-finals with Roda under coach Jan Reker , which Limburg only lost after a penalty shoot-out against ZFKA Sredez Sofia ; in the second leg against Sofia he scored one of his four European goals. Roda also reached the quarter-finals in the 1997/98 cup winners' competition, including with a club record win in European competitions 10-0 over Hapoel Be'er Scheva . In total, van der Luer and Roda JC competed 31 times in the Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Cup. At the end of the 1990s, the club basically gave him a lifelong contract that guaranteed him a position in the management and as a coach in the club's junior division for the time after his active career.

For the 2002/03 season , the Roda veteran went abroad at the age of almost 37 - even if only a few kilometers across the border. Eric van der Luer signed with the then German second division club Alemannia Aachen . At Alemannia he played with veterans like Karlheinz Pflipsen , Willi Landgraf and his compatriot Erik Meijer . The team finished sixth in the 2. Bundesliga twice in a row and reached the cup final with van der Luer, the oldest professional in the second division at the time , but lost 3-2 to Werder Bremen . The final in Berlin on May 29, 2004, during which he came on in the 83rd minute, was also the final of van der Luer's 22-year professional career. However, he continued to play football afterwards. As an amateur he was initially active for one year for SV Meerssen in Meersen in the Hoofd class and from summer 2005 at Club Groene Ster in Heerlerheide district of Heerlen .

National team

As a teenager, Eric van der Luer, then still a striker, played in the Dutch youth team, which qualified for the European Championship in Russia in 1982, but was not allowed to participate there. In 1995, van der Luer had two opportunities to put on the orange jersey in the senior sector. Bondscoach Guus Hiddink , who had taken over from Dick Advocaat in January 1995 , tested four newcomers in a friendly against Portugal on February 22, 1995 in Eindhoven ; Frank Verlaat , Michel Kreek and Edwin Vurens were in the starting line-up; van der Luer came on for Vurens after half-time. The Dutch lost 0-1. In the following European Championship qualifier against Malta in Rotterdam , van der Luer was initially on the bench and only came on for Bryan Roy after an hour in the 4-0 win .

The 29-year-old did not play more international matches. This was not least due to the fact that in his position with players like Frank Rijkaard before 1995 or afterwards with Clarence Seedorf and Edgar Davids, who were a decade younger, mostly world-class players were in the squad of the Oranje-Elf.

Trainer

At the end of his active career, van der Luer returned to Roda JC. Here he initially worked in management and soon also as a junior trainer and scout . For the 2008/09 season he moved again to Alemannia in Aachen, where he initially worked as an amateur trainer. In 2010 he took part in the course for the Dutch coaching license at KNVB in Zeist , during which he did a short internship with his compatriot Louis van Gaal , who was coach of FC Bayern Munich at the time . For the 2010/11 season he was assistant coach at Alemannia, which was tenth with Peter Hyballa as head coach this season. When the second division found themselves in the following season after seven matchdays with only one goal and three points at the bottom of the table, Hyballa and van der Luer were given leave of absence in September 2011.

From the 2012/13 season to March 2014 van der Luer was head coach of KFC Uerdingen and rose with the club at the end of the season from the upper to the regional league. Under van der Luer's direction, the Krefeld team scored 96 points and scored 98 goals. On March 28, 2014, the KFC separated from van der Luer with immediate effect.
