The former midfielder is still working on his coaching badges and sees the role with Jong Almere City as a great first opportunity.
Maduro told the club’s website, “This is a very nice challenge for me. I was born in Almere and have a good relationship with the city and the club. In recent months I have seen a lot of talent with ambition running around in the youth academy of Almere City FC.”
The 35-year-old has signed a two-year contract with the reserves of the Keuken Kampioen Divisie side. However, he will remain an assistant with Netherlands U18’s and an analyst with Fox Sports as well.
