Stam returns to management with MLS side
Stam started his post-playing career with Jong Ajax in 2014 before spending two years in charge of Reading in the Championship, even facing United in the FA Cup in 2017. He joined PEC Zwolle for 2018/19 before taking over at Feyenoord in June 2019, only to step down three months later.
“We are very happy and pleased to have Jaap Stam become FC Cincinnati’s new head coach,
“ said the club’s general manager Gerard Nijkamp on Thursday.
“He has an extensive background in being part of some of the most successful clubs in the world as a player and has also proven that he can guide teams through transitionary periods as a head coach.
“I strongly believe that Jaap can lead us through our next phase, to our new stadium, and help us achieve our goals in the future, making players better and bringing his knowledge and experience inside the club. I have full confidence that he will be successful at FC Cincinnati and will be a great fit to carry out our established playing philosophy and guide the club to achieve future successes.”
Good luck with your new challenge, Jaap.
