And there was me thinking that he was moving to new heights.  Damn.

Any Belgian must have "Van" or "Van der" in his name for the full Continental effect.

You mean like the famous Dutch detective Van der Valk?

Thankfully, in that case, Robin is Dutch.  Reading the Ajax Showtime site, he has chosen Mount Florida over Amsterdam!

Was it in Dutch or Flemish?

The original story on that page is about Veldman returning to Ajax for a role linking the “superstructure with the A team”. Also worth noting he’s not leaving Anderlecht, chucked out due to new management structure and strategy from Danish owners.

Robin Veldman is leaving Anderlecht, the Belgian club reports on the club's website on Saturday afternoon. There will be no place for him on coach Brian Riemer's coaching staff next season. In Belgium Veldman still had a contract until mid-2024.

The 37-year-old Dutchman, who previously worked as a youth coach at Ajax, is in the interest of the Amsterdam team, Het Laatste Nieuws reported last month. Ajax reportedly sees Veldman 'the perfect liaison between the superstructure and the A- team'.

In Brussels, the Dutchman was initially coach of Jong Anderlecht, but at the end of last year he became interim coach at the first team, after Felice Mazzu was fired. After Riemer was appointed head coach, Veldman continued as an assistant coach at the first team.

'Working with the great talents of this club was a privilege'

Veldman says he is grateful for his period at Anderlecht. 'I would like to thank all supporters, colleagues and players for a great period at Anderlecht. Working with the great talents of this club has been a privilege and I will always cherish that.'

Bizarrely, there is then an update quoting Scott Burns which flips the original. 
 

Update - 18.50 (10 June 2023) - 'Veldman on course for head coachship Scottish Queen's Park'

Robin Veldman does not seem to be in office with his former employer Ajax despite leaving RSC Anderlecht. According to Scottish journalist Scott Burns, Veldman is about to become head coach of Queen's Park FC, which plays at the second level in Scotland. Veldman has recently been frequently linked to Ajax.

Quite a coup if Beuker pulls that one off.

It's Robin Veldman

Noticed that while he was caretaker manager at Anderlecht last season he took charge of two UEFA Conference League games. That'll be good practice for when he leads us to European football in a couple of years.

For those who don’t speak Dutch…

Robin Veldman is going to work in Scotland. The 37-year-old Dutchman is appointed coach of Queen's Park FC, a club that plays at Scotland's second level. Veldman previously left Anderlecht, where he worked as an assistant coach.

Veldman is Owen Coyle's successor at Queen's Park. The club was promoted to the second level last season and under the leadership of Coyle Queen's Park competed for a long time to promote to the Premiership. Eventually, Coyle's formation finished in third place, after which the trainer stepped down.

Coyle's successor is therefore Veldman, who came into the picture at the club through compatriot Marijn Beuker. Beuker works as technical director at Queen's Park and previously stood for Coyle's arrival himself as interim coach for the group.

For Veldman, it's his first job as a head coach. He previously worked in the youth academy of Ajax and SC Heerenveen.

I googled a few more Dutch articles that used the term "stuntclub" (wat is een stuntclub?). It seems to mean a club that has surprised people by performing better than expected. One example was NAC Breda being the only club outwith the Eredivisie to reach the quarter finals of the KNVB Cup last season. Another example was Sparta Rotterdam who had a great run in the Eredivisie this season. I think for a large part of this season Queen's were a "stuntclub" with our totally unexpected charge to the top of the Championship.

Absolute banger of a theme tune, too: a platinum-selling, number-one-hitting theme tune – originally recorded as library music – which, according to Wikipedia, went on to become one of the 12 best-selling singles of the '70s! (So... The twelfth-best, presumably?)

The real challenge of bringing in a foreign manager is that it will be difficult to bring in players he has worked with on the continent as they will need work visas and the criteria is a pretty high bar for teams in the championship to achieve.

True and there may be the odd one however I expect Bueker will already have identified most of the signings we make.

Aye, I can see a fleet of Vans heading this way soon.

Wonder if we’ll go with an assistant who knows the level. Not doing that might actually be the biggest risk we could take.
