Alfred Schreuder (in Dutch; Flemish pronounced as /ˈɑlfrət -frɛt ˈsxrøːdər/; born 2 November 1972) is a Dutch football coach and former player who is the current manager of UAE Pro League club Al Nasr SC.
During his career, Schreuder played for RKC Waalwijk, NAC Breda, Feyenoord, Twente and Vitesse.[2] After he had stopped playing for Twente in March 2008, he joined SDV Barneveld on an amateur basis. After about three months, he returned as professional football player, signing a contract for one year at Vitesse. He retired in January 2009.[3] [4]
Schreuder started his managerial career immediately after his retirement as assistant manager of Vitesse. In the summer of 2009, he signed with Twente to be the assistant manager of Steve McClaren. After McClaren resigned his position on 26 February 2013, Schreuder was appointed as interim manager.[5] However, in March 2013, the club officially appointed Michel Jansen as head coach and Schreuder as his assistant, because Schreuder was not yet appropriately licensed as a manager.[6] [7] [8] This arrangement continued for the 2013–14 season, while Schreuder was studying for the UEFA Pro Licence, which he obtained in May 2014.[9] [10] [11] Subsequently, Schreuder was installed as manager of Twente, with Jansen as his assistant.[12] [13] On 30 August 2015, Schreuder was sacked after winning one point in the first four matches of the 2015–16 season.[14]
On 26 October 2015, Schreuder was appointed the assistant manager of Huub Stevens at 1899 Hoffenheim.[15] After Stevens' resignation on 10 February 2016, he remained at the club as the assistant of Julian Nagelsmann.[16]
On 5 January 2018, it was announced that Ajax had reached an agreement with Hoffenheim to sign Schreuder as the assistant of their new head coach Erik ten Hag.[17]
In March 2019, it was announced that Schreuder would succeed Julian Nagelsmann as head of Hoffenheim from 1 July 2019, after signing a contract until 2022.[18] However he was sacked by the club on 9 June 2020, since his form was not up to the expectations of the board.[19]
In August 2020, Schreuder joined Barcelona as assistant manager under Ronald Koeman, both signing a two-year deal with an escape-clause option after the first year.[20]
On 3 January 2022, Schreuder was appointed as head coach of Club Brugge, replacing Philippe Clement who left to manage Monaco.[21] After winning the Belgian League, he was appointed by Ajax on a two-year contract from the 2022–23 season onwards, replacing Erik ten Hag who left to manage Manchester United.[22] On 26 January 2023, he was sacked from his position at Ajax due to poor results.[23]
In May 2023, Schreuder was appointed as head coach of UAE Pro League club Al Ain.[24] Six months later, although he managed to win 13 of his 15 games in charge, Schreuder was sacked, with Al Ain announcing that the decision had been taken "due to the lack of consistency between the coach and his coaching staff with the Company’s institutional work system".[25]
On 27 November 2023, Schreuder was appointed as manager of fellow UAE Pro League club Al Nasr SC.[26]
His brother Dick was also a footballer, and joined him in coaching at Hoffenheim.
