Mark Wotte

Coaching and managerial career In 1996, Wotte was named manager of ADO Den Haag, where he stayed for two seasons, before signing for Utrecht (1997–2000). He later worked for Den Bosch, Willem II, the Royal Dutch Football Association, Feyenoord (technical director), and Ismaily in Egypt. He left Ismaily on 16 December 2006 due to family reasons, to return to the Netherlands to coach RKC Waalwijk before moving to Qatar to manage Al Ahli.

Southampton Having initially been linked with Southampton in 2005, Wotte joined the club as part of the new management team in 2008, with particular responsibility for the development of Southampton's youth squad. He was appointed manager on 23 January 2009, replacing Jan Poortvliet. Southampton drew 2–2 against Norwich City in his first game in charge.

Defeats against Sheffield United and Bristol City left the Saints in relegation trouble. Wins against Preston North End, Cardiff City and Ipswich Town gave Southampton hope, but the club went into administration, due to financial problems. Unable to steer them to safety, Southampton were relegated to League One, where they would start with the 10 point deduction at the start of the following season. Wotte left the club after it was taken over by Markus Liebherr in the summer of 2009. Wotte left the SFA in October 2014, having implemented most of the recommendations of a review conducted by Henry McLeish.

Morocco FA On 1 December 2015, Wotte joined the Royal Moroccan Football Federation. He worked as the football federation's National Youth Teams Coach. He signed a four-year contract until 2020. He was responsible for players born 1997-1998 and 1999 with teams U20 and the Olympic Team U23.

In July 2017, he won for the first time since 2001 the football tournament at the 2017 Francophone Games in Abidjan by beating the home country CIV in the Final with the Morocco U20 team. In 2018 he won also gold medals with Morocco U15/16 in Algeria and Tunesia.

Al Wahda In July 2020, Wotte signed a contract with Abu Dhabi side, Al Wahda, however due to the UAEFA postponing the Pro-League competition and after one training match, he was dismissed in September of the same year.
