Mario Captein

Director of CBV – the professional football coaches’ association in the Netherlands

A pleasure to work with, always respectful towards others

‘I got to know Rob as a teammate when he joined PSV in 1985. His job was to score goals, and he certainly did: 15 goals in 25 matches. My job was to keep the ball out of the net. That year we became Dutch champions and shortly afterwards Rob moved to Sporting Lisbon.

I’ve come to know Rob as a true team player: driven, a pleasure to work with and always respectful towards others. He embodies the qualities of an English gentleman.

A few years ago, I started seeing more of him again. Rob hasn't changed much: authentic, with a touch of English humour and a natural self-assurance. He always puts the team's interests first."
