In 2005, he was brought in as a caretaker manager after Hwangbo Kwan left the club, however Péricles Chamusca soon stepped in on a permanent basis and Arie would soon return to the Netherlands.

After spending several seasons teaching coaches in Australia, Bulgaria, Mozambique and South Africa, Arie returned to football as trainer for top tier Chinese side Changchun Yatai F.C. and aided the young manager Gao Hongbo to win the Championship.[ citation needed ] The following year Arie took the Namibia national football team job after the sudden death of their previous manager Ben Bamfuchile. Arie was quickly asked to send a squad to the 2008 African Cup of Nations, however within the tournament Namibia were quickly knocked-out of the competition after suffering two defeats and a draw, which soon saw Arie leave the team. This time Arie would move back to China where he was brought in by Nanchang Hengyuan and Beijing Baxy F.C. as a Technical Director before he moved back into management with second tier Chinese club Guizhou Zhicheng on 28 May 2013.
