Jeroen Rijsdijk (born 24 May 1977) is a Dutch professional football coach and former player who is the head coach of Almere City.

Playing career

Rijsdijk was a semi-professional footballer who trained with Feyenoord and VV SHO. From 2003 to 2007, he was with IJsselmeervogels where he became captain. He ended his career with ASWH, where he subsequently became assistant manager.[1]

Managerial career

Rijsdijk's managerial career formally began with his former club VV SHO, who he managed from 2010 to 2015. In 2015, he moved to Excelsior Maassluis, helping them win the 2015–16 Topklasse. In 2018, he moved to Jong Sparta in a role where he also was assistant to the head coach of the senior Sparta Rotterdam squad.[1] In January 2020, he became the assistant manager to Ole Tobiasen at Almere City. In March 2021, he was named the interim manager after Tobiasen resigned. In June 2021, Gertjan Verbeek was appointed manager at Almere City, and Rijsdijk again became an assistant.[2]

In August 2021, Rijsdijk returned to Sparta Rotterdam to help manage their youth academy. In April 2021, he was promoted to assistant manager under Maurice Steijn. After Steijn moved to Ajax, Rijsdijk was appointed senior manager with Sparta in the Eredivisie on 1 July 2023.[3] After a disappointing start to the 2024/2025 season, Sparta announced in November 2024 that Rijsdijk was released as the club's manager.[4] In January 2025, Risdijk returned to Almere City as head coach on a six-month contract until the end of the season.[5]
