Willem Weijs
Dutch football coach
Willem Weijs (born 19 February 1987) is a Dutch football manager. He has managed NAC Breda (caretaker), FC Eindhoven and Jong Ajax in the Eerste Divisie, and was assistant manager at Anderlecht and Lommel of the Belgian Pro League.
Career
Weijs was born in Broekhuizenvorst in the province of Limburg. He began coaching in 2007 for the youth team at PSV Eindhoven, going on to the same role at Ajax (2013–2017) and NAC Breda (2017–2019).
In 2019, Weijs was promoted to first-team assistant manager at NAC, supporting Ruud Brood. At the turn of the year, the 32-year-old was appointed caretaker manager of the Eerste Divisie club. His debut on 10 January was a goalless draw away to Helmond Sport; he recorded two draws and a win in his four league games, as well as a 2–0 home win over PSV in the last 16 of the KNVB Cup on 23 January.
Weijs was appointed on a two-year contract at Willem II Tilburg's under-21 team in May 2020. In September 2021, he moved abroad for the first time in his career, replacing Aaron Danks and Craig Bellamy as Vincent Kompany's assistant with Anderlecht in the Belgian Pro League. The following June, after Kompany left for Burnley, Weijs stayed in Belgium and became Steve Bould's assistant at Lommel.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Willem Weijs” as dutch football coach. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as dutch football coach. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q108644424. The first chronological checks are 1987, 2007, 2013 and 2017.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
