Club YLA has reinforced its coaching team with the appointment of Sjaak Polak. The Dutchman will take charge of the squad starting with preparations for the new season.
Polak brings several years of experience from Dutch women’s football. Between 2020 and 2023, he coached the women’s team of ADO Den Haag. During his time in South Holland, he achieved strong results and led ADO Den Haag to the upper tier of the league, including two semi-final appearances and one final in the KNVB Cup.
Originally from The Hague, Polak was also a professional footballer for many years, playing in the Netherlands for clubs such as FC Twente, ADO Den Haag, and Sparta Rotterdam.
With his background as both a player and a coach, Club YLA hopes Polak can help elevate the performance of the women’s team even further. We look forward to this collaboration and are ready to aim for a strong Blue & Black season together!
