Reinier Robbemond

Born in Dordrecht, Robbemond played for ODS and SC Feyenoord in his youth. Robbemond made his debut in professional football on 8 December 1990, coming on as a substitute for Dordrecht '90 in an away match at VVV. He made more than 100 appearances for his hometown club before he left for FC Utrecht in 1996. In Utrecht, Robbemond played five seasons as a regular starter in midfield. In 2001, he moved to AZ, where he played for three seasons, but was mostly utilised as a substitute for his last two years at the club. Between 2004 and 2009, Robbemond played for De Graafschap. However, when De Graafschap suffered relegation for the second time in five years, his contract was not extended, and he announced his retirement from professional football.

Robbemond started working as a youth coach for AZ in the summer of 2009 shortly after announcing his retirement as a player. After training various youth teams at the club, he became the head coach of the reserve team of AZ, Jong AZ, for the 2014–15 season.

On 6 April 2016, it was announced that he would be dismissed from his position after the season, as Oss finished last in the league table.
