Roger Reijners (born February 10, 1964 in Roermond ) is a former Dutch football player and current coach. From 2010 to 2015 he was the successor of Vera Pauw as coach of the Dutch national soccer team . Under him, the Dutch women managed to qualify for a World Cup finals for the first time. He is currently an assistant trainer at MVV Maastricht .

Career

societies

In his youth, Reijners played for Vv Victoria and the Rooms-Katholieke Sportvereniging Neer (RKSVN). In 1983 he moved to Fortuna Sittard and played there for eight years in the Eredivisie . The club fluctuated between 7th and 14th place during this time. In his first season he reached the Dutch Cup final with Sittard, but lost it 0-1 against Feyenoord Rotterdam . In 1992 he moved to MVV Maastricht, with whom he was relegated to the Eerste Divisie in 1995 . He then ended his playing career and became a coach.

National team

Reijners played four games for the Netherlands' U-21 team in May 1984.

Trainer

Reijners initially coached MVV's youth teams. From 2000 he was the coach of the professional team, which was playing in the Eerste Divisie again at that time . In 2003 he switched to Fortuna Sittard , where he initially worked as a youth coach again. After a year he became assistant coach of the professional team playing in the Eerste Divisie, which he took over as head coach in 2007.

After Vera Pauw , the coach of the Dutch women's national football team, announced her resignation as bond coach in March 2010 after differences with the association's management, Reijners became her successor in November 2010. He signed a contract until the 2016 Olympics.

Under him, the Dutch women managed to qualify for the EM 2013 again. There, the Dutch women, who were considered by some to be secret favorites, ended in the preliminary round, where they were the only team to not score a goal, but at least wrested a goalless draw from eventual European champions Germany , whereby they were at times the better team. It went better in qualifying for the 2015 World Cup . The team could not qualify directly, because only second place was taken behind Norway . In the playoffs of the four best runners-up in the group, however, the Dutch women prevailed against Scotland and Italy , which meant they qualified for the World Cup for the first time. After the Women's World Cup in Canada in 2015 , the Koninklijke Nederlandse Voetbal Bond split from Reijners.
