Eelco Schattorie (born 18 December 1971) is a Dutch football coach and former player who currently manages Saudi Professional League side Al-Ettifaq.
Career
Born in Swalmen, Schattorie started as a youth and assistant coach with Dutch club VVV-Venlo. He served as the club's head coach on a caretaker basis for four matches in 1996 after former head coach, Jan Versleijen, left the club.[1] After spending twelve years with VVV-Venlo, Schattorie moved to the United Arab Emirates in 2002 to work as an assistant to Jan Versleljen at Al Jazira and as their under-18 head coach. After spending a season in the UAE, Schattorie moved to Saudi Arabia to again work as an assistant to Jan Versleijen at Al-Ettifaq.[2] He also worked as assistant coach to Versleijen at another Emirati club, Al-Shaab.[3] Schattorie returned to Al-Ettifaq in 2008 as under-23 head coach and helped the side win the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Cup.[4] Schattorie then moved to Oman where he was technical director at Muscat Club.[5]
Schattorie became the head coach of Bahraini club, Al-Riffa before returning to Muscat Club as their head coach in 2007.[5] After joining the club when they were at the bottom of the table, Schattorie managed to help the capital side finish eighth in the division, safe from relegation.[6] He then stayed with the club till February 2009, when he became the head coach of Omani side, Fanja.[3][7] After going undefeated for most of the season during the 2009–10 season, Fanja were defeated in the promotion play-offs against Al-Oruba.[8] Despite the season going very well for Schattorie, he was still let go by the club. Schattorie soon moved back to Saudi Arabia where he became head coach of Al-Khaleej in 2010.[9] After spending years in the Middle-East, Schattorie moved to Africa where he signed as head coach of Red Bull Ghana from 2011 to 2012.[10]
United: 2012–2014
On 9 November 2012 it was announced that Schattorie would become the new head coach of Prayag United of the I-League in India.[11] He coached his first game for the club on 10 November 2012, where he led Prayag United to a 10–1 victory over newly promoted United Sikkim.[12] Schattorie won his first and only cup for the side on 20 March 2013 when Prayag United defeated East Bengal in the IFA Shield final 1–0 through a Ranti Martins goal.[13] Eelco eventually finished the 2012–13 campaign leading Prayag United to a fourth-place finish.[14]
Unfortunately, entering the 2013–14 season, Prayag United were hit hard financially by the chit fund scam.[15] After dealing with the trouble given to him by sponsors, Eelco left the club in January 2014.[16]
East Bengal: 2015
On 19 February 2015 it was announced that Schattorie would return to the I-League to manage East Bengal.[17] However he lost his first match in charge by four goals to one, in an AFC Cup match, against Johor Darul Ta'zim.[18] Schattorie then managed the club in the I-League for the first time on 1 March 2015 against Dempo at the Fatorda Stadium. Five goals from Ranti Martins saw East Bengal come out as 5–1 winners.[19]
After the season ended, Schattorie left the club and was replaced by Biswajit Bhattacharya.[20]
