Key points
- Correia sober about Rinus Michels Award: 'I have no chance' and praises.
- Anthony Correia had few illusions about the Rinus Michels Award.
- Anthony Correia remains central to FC Utrecht's plans.
Anthony Correia had no illusions on Wednesday: the Rinus Michels Award would not end up in his name. The new trainer of FC Utrecht ultimately saw colleague Dick Schreuder deservedly leave with the prize, after an excellent season with NEC in which the Nijmegen team reached the preliminary round of the Champions League. “Dick has completely put NEC on the map,” said Correia, who visibly enjoyed the evening but remained sober about his own chances.
Peter Bosz, the winner of the previous two editions, was also nominated again. However, the former PSV coach had to bow to Schreuder this time. Correia emphasized the tough competition. “Next to two very big trainers,” he responded with a smile. "I looked left, I looked right and thought: I have no chance. They did something in Dutch football that we are talking about again. Peter with that dominance... It was just PSV again and then nothing for a long time. Come on, then you are a really great trainer."
Correia nevertheless looks back on his own journey with pride. At Telstar, together with his staff and group of players, he set a recognizable course and achieved appealing results that stuck with supporters. “It's nice to bring it back, to see what we have done for people. Ultimately, what you leave behind is that you have created something and people are talking about it,” says the trainer. There was no stress or disappointment: "I really didn't go there with the idea that I was going to win that prize. No stress."
However, the leading role belonged to Schreuder, who had a nationally impressive season with NEC. Qualifying for the preliminary round of the Champions League and reaching the cup final underline the development that the club has undergone. “Reached the Champions League preliminary round, the cup final... That is incredibly impressive,” Correia praised his colleague. He also enjoyed the stage and itconversation afterwards: “It was a very nice evening.”
The Rinus Michels Award is the annual award for the best trainer in Dutch professional football. The election looks at performance in competition and cup, but also at development strength and impact. With the dominance of PSV under Bosz last season and the top year of NEC under Schreuder, the bar was set high. The fact that Correia was among the nominees and completed the podium says a lot about the appreciation for his work and the path he has taken as a trainer.
A new chapter is now starting for Correia at FC Utrecht. The nomination and the podium are confirmation of his growth, while Schreuder, with the award in his hands, symbolizes the surprises that the Dutch trainers' guild keeps bringing.
What's happening now
With the recognition of Dick Schreuder, the focus for Correia will now be on improving the performance of FC Utrecht in the Eredivisie. He will look to put his own stamp on the team and lead the club to new heights. It is an opportunity for Correia to demonstrate his vision and strategies in the competition, while also bringing with him the positive experiences of his time at SC Telstar.
