Neue Aufgabe für einen einstigen Weltstar!
Bayern-Legende Arjen Robben (41) coacht künftig die U14-Mannschaft des FC Groningen. Das verkündete der holländische Klub am Donnerstagabend mit.
[–>Für Robben ein Comeback bei seinem Jugendverein!
In Groningen verbrachte der Champions-League-Sieger von 2013 große Teile seiner Nachwuchs-Laufbahn, kam 2001 zu seinen ersten Profi-Einsätzen. Bereits ein Jahr später holte ihn die PSV Eindhoven für 4,3 Millionen Euro.
2020 lief er für eine Spielzeit erneut für Groningen auf und beendete anschließend seine Karriere. Nun der Posten als Jugend-Coach.
„Heiß“ begehrt: Nächster US-Klub will Müller
Groningen-Nachwuchschef Byron Bakker (33): „Die Tatsache, dass wir Arjen Robben als Cheftrainer einer Mannschaft in unserer Nachwuchsabteilung begeistern konnten, macht uns natürlich stolz. Arjens Erfahrung bedarf keiner weiteren Erklärung, aber auch als Trainer hat er von Anfang an einen starken Eindruck hinterlassen.“
Zuvor arbeitete Robben bereits als Nachwuchstrainer beim Groninger Amateurklub Be Quick 1887, coachte dabei unter anderem seinen Sohn Luka. Auch bei verschiedenen Jugendteams des FC Groningen schnupperte er immer wieder rein, absolvierte auch ein Praktikum.
2023 sagte Robben noch im Interview mit dem Klub-Medium: „Ich will mich noch nicht festlegen und sagen: ‚Das ist es!‘ Ich will vor allem entdecken und sehen, ob mir das in einem Jahr immer noch gefällt und ob es zu mir passt.“ Scheint so, als habe er am Trainerjob mittlerweile so richtig Gefallen gefunden.
Als Spieler lief der Holländer neben Groningen und Eindhoven noch für Chelsea, Real Madrid und die Bayern auf. Mit den Münchnern wurde er achtmal Meister, fünfmal Pokalsieger und schoss den Klub 2013 im legendären Wembley-Endspiel gegen Borussia Dortmund (2:1) auch zum Champions-League-Titel.
Jede Menge Erfahrung, die Robben nun an seine Schützlinge weitergeben kann …

Lautaro Martinez injury: Inter striker likely out for Champions League second leg, who can replace him?
Getty Images Inter striker Lautaro Martinez is unlikely to feature in the UEFA Champions League's second leg semifinal against FC Barcelona that will take place on Tuesday in Milan, after the two teams drew 3-3 in the first leg in Barcelona on Wednesday. The Italian giants are still holding out hope and will see over the next few days if their captain will be able to feature in the squad at all, after the Argentinian striker sustained a muscular injury that forced Inter coach Simone Inzaghi to replace him at halftime in Barcelona. Lautaro, according to multiple reports, will try to make it for the second game in Milan, but if things don't go as planned, here's how Inzaghi can cope with the absence of the Inter captain. The Italian club issued a statement on Friday regarding the health conditions of […]
Seven transfer portal WRs primed to make an immediate impact on the 2025 college football season
Getty Images In the modern era of college football, few individual positions are more coveted than wide receiver. A dominant wideout can transform an offense, and highly rated prospects -- out of high school and through the transfer portal -- often draw significant attention from major programs.Just look at a school like Ohio State, which has become a factory for elite wide receivers in recent years. The Buckeyes won a national title last season behind players like Jeremiah Smith -- who shattered both Big Ten and Ohio State true freshman receiving records -- and 2025 first-round NFL Draft pick Emeka Egbuka.The point is: a great wide receiver can elevate quarterback play while easing pressure on other parts of the offense, such as the run game. Fortunately for programs in need of a talent boost, the transfer portal has made it […]
NHL’s Jack Adams Award finalists revealed — Will Spencer Carbery win after last year’s omission?
Scott Arniel of the Winnipeg Jets, Spencer Carbery of the Washington Capitals and Martin St. Louis of the Montreal Canadiens were announced on Friday as the NHL’s Jack Adams Award finalists. The award is presented annually to “the coach adjudged to have contributed the most to his team’s success.”In his second season, Carbery guided the Capitals to the league’s second-best record while deftly navigating star captain Alex Ovechkin’s pursuit of the NHL’s all-time goals record. Ovechkin’s chase never became a distraction, and it appeared to inspire the Capitals, who finished atop the Eastern Conference standings a year after qualifying for the playoffs as the conference’s final wild-card team.AdvertisementCarbery was not a finalist for the Adams last season — a surprise given how little was expected of that squad. These Capitals were not preseason darlings among prognosticators, either.Two of the three […]
Predicting the starting QB for Browns, Colts and Giants, plus ranking every AFC team with Ravens at No. 1
Getty Images Welcome to the Friday edition of the Pick Six newsletter! If you're wondering what every player in the NFL is doing right now, they're probably on a flight to Louisville so that they can attend the Kentucky Derby. For some reason, it seems to be the one event that NFL players love to attend. Last year, Travis Kelce, Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams, Jameis Winston and Amon-Ra St. Brown were among the players in attendance and it won't be surprising if we see another large contingent of NFL players at Churchill Downs this year. Maybe Rodgers will show up and then immediately announce that he's signing with the Steelers ... or maybe he'll announce that he's buying a horse and retiring. By the way, if you want to know who's favored to win the 151st Run for the Roses, we've got […]
NBA playoff trends I’m watching: Wolves’ cohesiveness, Cavaliers’ pull-up shooting and more
A reconstructed team looks like it’s been together forever. Long-range gluttons are colliding with 3-point stranglers. And a young squad just learned a lesson.Let’s run through three trends that have caught my eye during the NBA postseason:Wolves on a stringPlayoff narratives are dying in Minnesota.AdvertisementThe NBA’s favorite lightning rod, Rudy Gobert, won the Timberwolves a closeout game. Julius Randle, considered a playoff liability until a week and a half ago, just reeled off his best postseason series ever.The Timberwolves are heading to the second round following a five-game victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. After making some roster changes during training camp, they are four wins away from a second consecutive conference finals appearance. And for all the Lakers chatter that’s followed the series, it was the Wolves’ cohesion that became impossible to ignore.Minnesota took months to get comfortable after […]
