With a record number of points, the team reached the final of the play offs to qualify for Europa League in which they lost on penalties. In the second season, the club renewed his contract but many of the top players were sold. The new team was not capable to repeat the successful 2010–2011 season.

In January 2016, Huistra became head coach of Japanese club Iwaki FC. Under supervision of Dome corporation, he became the technical leader of the new start up club. The first season the club won several regional and national trophies.

On 31 March 2017, he was appointed as technical advisor of Slovak champion AS Trenčín until end of season.[8] He left the club shortly after to join Pakhtakor Tashkent FK in Uzbekistan, initially as an assistant to Shota Arveladze.[9] Together with Arveladze, they led the club from eight to third place and qualified for the AFC Champions League.
