Football career

Between 2001 and 2016, he made more than 350 appearances for Telstar in the Dutch Eerste Divisie. [2] He played his final match as a professional in April 2016 against Helmond Sport. [3]

In 2017, Correia became an assistant coach of Telstar, [4] being successively awarded with a contract extension in February 2022. [5] Alongside, Correa coached ODIN '59 (2019–2020) and VV Katwijk (since 2020). [6] [7] As Katwijk head coach, Correia also won the 2021–22 Tweede Divisie title. [8]

In April 2024, Telstar announced Correia would serve as the club's new head coach on a two-year deal, effective from the 2024–25 season. [9] [10] During his first season in charge as a head coach, Correia guided Telstar to seventh place in the regular season and, eventually, to win the promotion/relegation play-offs, defeating Eredivisie side Willem II in a two-legged final, leading his club back to the Dutch top flight for the first time in 47 years. [11]
