Rick Plum (born 12 June 1973) is a Dutch former footballer who played as a defender, and currently working as a talent coach at Roda JC Kerkrade.

Managerial career

Plum was interim manager for Roda JC in the latter stage of the 2014–2015 season in the Eerste Divisie and managed them into promotion to the Eredivisie, but stepped back after the season due to burning out and returned to his post as assistant manager.[2] [3] He again was interim manager for Roda JC in the Eredivisie on 25 May 2017, until the end of the season.[4]

In 2018, Plum was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and therefore decided in July to resign from his position in Roda.[5] In the summer 2021, Plum returned to Roda as a talent coach.[6]
