Gertjan Verbeek (Dutch pronunciation: [ɣɛrt.ˈjɑn vər.ˈbeɪk]) (born 1 August 1962 in Deventer, Overijssel) is a former footballer and current manager of AZ.

Coaching career

After retiring from his playing career in 1994, Verbeek stayed with SC Heerenveen as an assistant-coach. He left for Heracles Almelo in 2001, and after a successful stint there was hired as the successor to Foppe de Haan with SC Heerenveen. In 2008 he was hired by Feyenoord, but was fired after clashing with players a few months into his tenure.^[1] He moved to Heracles Almelo for the 2009-2010 season, and after guiding them to a 6th place finish in the Eredivisie, AZ hired him for the 2010-2011 season. Verbeek caused controversy in December 2011 in a cup match against Ajax by leading AZ off the pitch in protest at having their goalkeeper Esteban Alvarado sent off for retaliating against a pitch invader. ^[2] The game was consequently abandoned.
