Alex Pastoor is having Easter lunch with a good feeling. The trainer from Schoorl is very creditable with Almere City in third place in the first division, won the third period title last week and recently extended his contract. “I’m in a phase of my coaching career where I want to be able to work well.”

“I’m having a great time,” says Alex Pastoor after the home match won against Jong AZ (2-1). “This is a developing club and I enjoy working with the management.” At the beginning of 2022, Pastoor started his job in Flevoland, succeeding the dismissed Gertjan Verbeek.
Period title
In his first season, Pastoor finished in fourteenth place with Almere City, but this season in particular is going very well. Behind PEC Zwolle and Heracles, the Almeerders are in third position. And last week Monday they took the third period title.

Still, Pastoor secretly hopes for direct promotion. That applies to the first two teams in the ranking. The gap with number two Heracles is eight points. “We are not inferior to any team and Heracles has a number of annoying injuries at the moment.”
Playoffs
If that does not work, then it can still be done through the play-offs, for which Almere City has already qualified for the period title. At the moment, there are still six games scheduled in the regular season. The next opponent for the current number three in the first division is ADO Den Haag on Sunday.

Contract extension
In the past, Pastoor worked for premier league clubs such as NEC, Sparta, Excelsior and AZ. Perhaps the North Holland coach will also succeed in working with Almere City at the highest level. Pastoor recently extended his contract for one season and is now fixed until the summer of 2024. “The ultimate goal is to get promoted.”
