Robert Molenaar will be the new head coach of NAC Breda. He had already worked for the club as a coach of the reserves team. Molenaar is the successor of Edwin de Graaf at the club from the Kitchen Champion Division, who had to leave after a disappointing season.
Molenaar signs a contract for one year. He gets Rogier Molhoek and club icon Ton Lokhoff as assistants. They also sign a one-year contract.
As a player, the 53-year-old Molenaar played for FC Volendam, RBC Roosendaal, Leeds United and Bradford City. He started as a trainer in professional football at FC Volendam. After Roda JC and Almere City, he joined NAC last season as responsible for the under 21 team.
NAC qualified for the play-offs in the Kitchen Champion Division last season with great difficulty. In that, the people from Brabant were already eliminated in the first round by ADO Den Haag.
