Arjan Veurink (assistant coach)

Veurink was recruited to be Sarina Wiegman’s assistant with the Netherlands women’s team after battling it out in the league with her when they managed the women’s teams at FC Twente and ADO Den Haag respectively. Wiegman won the league in 2012 and the Dutch Cup in 2012 and 2013 before joining the national team in 2014 as an assistant. Veurink beat Wiegman to the title in 2013 and retained it for the next three seasons, also winning the Cup in 2015. They have struck up a formidable partnership, guiding the Netherlands to a maiden European Championship trophy in 2017 on home soil and to the 2019 World Cup final.
