Playing career Landvreugd began his career in the youth academy at Ajax before joining SC Cambuur in 1992 and then Ipswich Town three years later, though he only played for the reserves there.

In January 2021, Landvreugd was admitted to the UEFA Pro Licence course by the KNVB, and as part of the program, he undertook an internship as assistant coach at Telstar. That same month, AFC announced that Landvreugd had extended his contract through mid-2022. He completed his UEFA Pro diploma in July 2022.

For the 2022–23 and 2023–24 seasons, Landvreugd served as assistant coach at Telstar, competing in the Eerste Divisie. Following the departure of head coach Mike Snoei, he was promoted to interim head coach alongside Anthony Correia for the remainder of the 2023–24 campaign.

On 30 April 2024, Landvreugd was announced as the new assistant coach to David Nascimento at FC Den Bosch, with the appointment taking effect on 1 July 2024.

On 9 May 2025, Landvreugd's contract with Den Bosch was extended into the 2025–26 season. Landvreugd left Den Bosch at the end of the 2025-26 season by mutual consent.
