Managerial career

ADO Den Haag

Steijn has a Bachelor of Education and has taught in primary education. As a coach, he started as an assistant to Bob Kootwijk at the ADO Den Haag amateur branch and also coached youth teams. After this, he became assistant for the first team and until 30 March 2010 also coached the ADO reserves, before being appointed caretaker manager of the ADO first team after the dismissal of Raymond Atteveld. [2]

After the departure of John van den Brom to Vitesse on 30 June 2011, Steijn was appointed head coach of ADO. On 5 February 2014, after three years as head coach, Steijn was dismissed after a loss against Heracles Almelo, and was succeeded by his assistant, former defender Henk Fräser. [3]

Ajax

On 14 June 2023, Steijn was hired by Ajax on a 3-year contract. [4] On 23 October 2023, a day after a 4–3 loss to FC Utrecht placed it second-from-last on the Eredivisie table, Ajax announced that it was parting ways with Steijn after just two wins through eleven matches in charge. [5] The club under Steijn experienced their worst ever start of a season with only five points in seven matches, taking into consideration that the 1964–65 season was during a standard of two points for a win. [6] [7]

Personal life

Steijn is the father of the Dutch footballer Sem Steijn, and managed his son's debut at VVV-Venlo on 6 December 2018. [8]
