Playing career
[edit | edit source]Simons started playing football at Amstelland. He played for Telstar, Fortuna Sittard, NAC, Willem II, Kyoto Purple Sanga (Japan), ADO Den Haag and TOP Oss. In his best time he was employed by Fortuna Sittard. In the 1998–99 season, he had a big contribution with two goals in the 1–3 victory over Ajax in Amsterdam Arena. In that same year, he scored four times in the 6–4 home win against PSV Eindhoven. After his professional career ended, he played for Türkiyemspor, an Amsterdam amateur club playing in the top Sunday league. From summer 2008, he played for the Ajax Amateurs for two years.
Coaching career
[edit | edit source]In 2005, Simons started his coaching career and became a head coach at various clubs. He was appointed head coach of the Volendam under-21 team in 2023, but moved to manage the first team in 2024 after Matthias Kohler's dismissal.[1] After suffering relegation from the Eredivisie with Volendam, both parties mutually agreed to terminate his contract in May 2024.[2]
