Virgil Breetveld (born 10 July 1967)[7] is a Dutch football coach and former professional player.

Career

Born in Rotterdam, Breetveld played youth football for Steeds Hoger and Germinal Schiebroek,[8] before signing for Feyenoord at the age of 17.[9] Breetveld had not considered a professional football career, but was encouraged to pursue it by his coach Dick Beek, who himself had been a professional player.[9] He made his debut for the first-team in April 1988.[9] He later played for SVV, Dordrecht, De Graafschap, Excelsior and Fortuna Düsseldorf.[9][10] He was top scorer of the Eerste Divisie in the 1994–95 season.[10] He retired from professional football in November 2000.[9]

After retiring as a player, Breetveld worked as a broker and let holiday apartments in Brazil.[9] He was also manager of amateur side SC Reeland from 2003 to 2005,[10] as well as EBOH and Wieldrecht.[11]

He became an assistant manager at Dordrecht after signing a one-year contract in May 2011,[11] combining his role there with his position as manager of Wieldrecht,[12] and working 6 days a week in both roles.[12] He signed a contract extension with Dordrecht in April 2012.[13] He left his role with Dordrecht in 2013,[9] and in September 2014 was working as manager of amateur team SteDoCo.[9] In May 2017, Breetveld finished his employment at Stedoco.[4] In the summer of 2017 he was appointed coach of the Sunday and Saturday first squads of Ido's Football Club.[5]
