FC St. Pauli has strengthened its coaching team for the 2019-20 season with the appointment of another assistant coach in Hans Schrijver. The 59-year-old Dutchman will work alongside head coach Jos Luhukay and assistants Markus Gellhaus and André Trulsen and will chiefly be responsible for opponent analysis.
In his most recent job, Schrijver, who played for the Dutch Olympic team (nine international appearances in 1981/82) during his active career, worked alongside Jos Luhukay at Championship outfit Sheffield Wednesday (2018 bis 2019). Before that the 59-year-old worked as youth coordinator and Under-19 coach at SC Heerenveen (2014 to 2016), head scout at SC Cambuur (2013 to 2014), and assistant coach at Canadian side FC Edmonton (2010 and 2012) and JEF United Chiba in Japan (2011). Schrijver has also had spells as coach and head scout for the Dutch Under-20s/Under-21s (2006 to 2010) and assistant coach and Under-21 coach at FC Groningen (1998 to 2005).
