Wiljan Vloet

Wiljan Vloet (born 10 September 1962) is a Dutch football manager, executive and former player. He serves as the sporting director of FC Den Bosch.

Playing career As a footballer, Vloet never played for a professional club. He started his career at hometown club RKSV Schijndel from Brabant, with whom he reached the Eerste Klasse. In 1979, he moved to Friesland at the age of 16, where he went to study at the CIOS, a vocational education centered around physical education. He went to play for VV Heerenveen in Friesland after being considered unfit for the professional branch of the club, SC Heerenveen, after a trial. Vloet played with VV Heerenveen in the Derde Klasse of amateur football. Vloet would, however, begin coaching at SC Heerenveen, where he took care of one of the under-15 team. In 1982, he returned to Brabant and started playing for RKSV Schijndel again. After a year, however, he decided to return to Friesland to coach at VV Akkrum, located close to Heerenveen, and to play at Dijka Steenwijk, where coaching legend Foppe de Haan became his head coach.

Vloet signed a three-year deal with Greek club Niki Volos in June 2014, who had just been promoted to the Super League at the time. After losing the first three consecutive league matches to Olympiacos, Atromitos and PAOK, the club dismissed him three months after his arrival.

On 10 February 2016, Den Bosch announced Vloet would succeed René van Eck as manager of the club, thereby starting his second term at the club. In March 2017, he was promoted to the position of director of football within the club. In that role he became responsible for the entire youth academy and the club's scouting apparatus. He signed a contract for an indefinite period. He was succeeded at the head coach position by Wil Boessen.
