Playing career

As a footballer, Vloet never played for a professional club. He started his career at hometown club RKSV Schijndel from Brabant, with whom he reached the Eerste Klasse. In 1979, he moved to Friesland at the age of 16, where he went to study at the CIOS, a vocational education centered around physical education. [1] He went to play for VV Heerenveen in Friesland after being considered unfit for the professional branch of the club, SC Heerenveen, after a trial. [2] Vloet played with VV Heerenveen in the Derde Klasse of amateur football. Vloet would, however, begin coaching at SC Heerenveen, where he took care of one of the under-15 team. In 1982, he returned to Brabant and started playing for RKSV Schijndel again. After a year, however, he decided to return to Friesland to coach at VV Akkrum, located close to Heerenveen, and to play at Dijka Steenwijk, where coaching legend Foppe de Haan became his head coach. [2]

Managerial career

Vloet started working as coach in 1979, when he took charge of the youth team of amateurs VV Heerenveen while still playing there. In 1984, he took his first head coaching job, at amateurs SV Heusden. In 1999, after six seasons in charge of Hoofdklasse club OJC Rosmalen, he was appointed by Den Bosch as youth coach; in 2001 he received head coaching duties at the same club, being however unable to save it from relegation to the Eerste Divisie. He successively moved to Roda JC, where he stayed in charge from 2002 to 2005. He then moved to Sparta Rotterdam and was replaced at the end of the 2006–07 season by Gert Aandewiel, who came over from HFC Haarlem. Vloet then signed with ADO Den Haag, who he guided back to the Eredivisie in the spring of 2008. He then worked as youth coach of PSV until November 2009, when he was appointed head coach of Eredivisie club NEC. After two seasons in charge of the Nijmegen club, he left in June 2011 to accept a move back at Sparta Rotterdam, this time as technical director for the club. [3]

Vloet signed a three-year deal with Greek club Niki Volos in June 2014, who had just been promoted to the Super League at the time. [4] After losing the first three consecutive league matches to Olympiacos, Atromitos and PAOK, the club dismissed him three months after his arrival. [5]

On 10 February 2016, Den Bosch announced Vloet would succeed René van Eck as manager of the club, thereby starting his second term at the club. [6] In March 2017, he was promoted to the position of director of football within the club. In that role he became responsible for the entire youth academy and the club's scouting apparatus. He signed a contract for an indefinite period. [7] He was succeeded at the head coach position by Wil Boessen. [8]
