Wil Coort

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilhelmus Theodora Antonius Emanuel Coort (born January 29, 1961 ) is a Dutch goalkeeping coach who has been under contract with FC Porto in the Primeira Liga since 2005 .

Player career

As a player, Wil Coort was merely an amateur; as a goalkeeper he played for the Hoofdklasse team from BVV Den Bosch and for the team The Goal Getters . He earned his living full-time at PTT . When BVV entered into a closer cooperation with FC Den Bosch in 1989, the opportunity arose for him to switch to the professionals, but he shied away from the competition. He realized that the need for goalkeeping coaches was great and that his talent as a keeper would not help him. So he made the step into the coaching subject at a young age, which he learned from Frans Hoek .

Trainer

1989 to 2005: FC Den Bosch and AFC Ajax

In the role of goalkeeping coach, he initially worked for FC Den Bosch for eight years , before he succeeded Hoek , who had moved to FC Barcelona , at AFC Ajax in Amsterdam in 1997 . In Morten Olsen's coaching team , he was responsible for national goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar (33 league appearances) and his substitute Fred Grim (one game). At the end of the 1997/98 season , Ajax became Dutch champions with only 22 goals conceded (with a goal difference of +90) and also won the double with the KNVB Cup . Coort later said that at that time he had already found a topkeeper in van der Sar, to whom he could no longer teach much, but from whom he had learned a lot himself.

After three years of placing in the top six and winning the Cup in 1999, Ajax won the double again with goalkeeping coach Coort and goalkeepers Grim and Joey Didulica in 2002 , as well as with Romanian number one Bogdan Lobonț and the future Dutch national goalkeepers Maarten Stekelenburg and Sander Boschker in 2004 celebrate the championship again. Under coach Danny Blind , however, he was downgraded to youth coach in spring 2005.

Since 2005: FC Porto

Together with head coach Co Adriaanse , whom Coort knew from their time together at AFC Ajax in 2000 and 2001, and assistant Jan Olde Riekerink , the goalkeeping coach moved to FC Porto in summer 2005 . The coaching team led the team with the established former world goalkeeper Vítor Baía , who was replaced during the season by the Helton shaped by Coort , to win the double. Helton was appointed to the Brazilian national team for the first time the following season .

Coort made headlines by moving to Porto; A year later, Adriaanses resignation caused a stir, in connection with which Coort went through the reports of the sports press again. Although it was initially said that he, like Riekerink, had also resigned in solidarity with Adriaanse, the club announced a week later that Coort would stay and take full responsibility for the goalkeepers from the first team to the youth. He was assisted by Baía, who could not recapture his regular place in goal from Helton.

By the end of the 2010/11 season, Coort was able to celebrate five championships, four Portuguese cups and winning the 2011 Europa League with the FCP .
