Marcel van der Sloot (born 3 June 1980) is a Dutch professional football manager and former player who is the current head coach of Vierde Divisie club Dongen.

Playing career[edit]

Van der Sloot was born in Gouda and played youth football for SV Donk, Jodan Boys, ONA and Utrecht.[2][3] He started his senior career with RBC Roosendaal, making his professional debut on 23 February 2002, replacing Winston Bakboord in the 60th minute of a 5–1 away win over Helmond Sport in the Eerste Divisie.[4]

In 2003, Van der Sloot joined TOP Oss.[5] He impressed with TOP during the next four seasons, scoring 35 goals in 122 appearances and earning a transfer to Eredivisie club De Graafschap on 3 April 2007.[6] He signed a three-year contract.[7] Due to several injuries, he never played a game for the club.[8][6] He was sent on loan to Dordrecht in January 2008, and was later signed on a permanent deal by the club.[9] He became a starter for the club but was also plagued by injuries, suffering an achilles tear in September 2009 which ruled him out for several months.[10] In 2010, Van der Sloot shortly returned to RBC Roosendaal.[11]

Between 2011 and 2014, where Van der Sloot announced his retirement from football, he played for TOP Oss again, becoming the all-time club top goalscorer with 58 goals in 215 appearances.[6][9][12]

Coaching career[edit]

After retiring as a player, Van der Sloot continued as a scout for TOP Oss between 2014 and 2017.[13] He was appointed assistant coach in June 2017 and combined this function with the role as head coach of lower league club RKSV Cluzona from Wouw.[14] After TOP manager Kristof Aelbrecht was fired in December 2022, Van der Sloot replaced him as caretaker coach.[15]

On 23 December 2022, it was announced that Van der Sloot had been appointed head coach of Derde Divisie club VV Dongen from the 2023–24 season.[3]
