Bryan Roy Wiki

Bryan Roy is a Dutch football manager and a former professional player. While a player, he was a winger and notably played for Ajax, Nottingham Forest, and Hertha BSC. His spell at Forest culminated in three Premier League seasons with his debut year resulting in a 3rd place finish and qualification for the following seasons UEFA Cup. He also played professionally for Foggia and later coming out of retirement with a brief spell at English Non-League side Workington. He was capped 32 times by the Netherlands, scoring 9 goals. After the end of his playing career, Roy moved into coaching and was appointed head coach of Ajax’s youth teams – formerly Ajax E1. He was later appointed to a similar position with the Ajax B team in 2010, a position he remained in until 2015.

He began his professional playing career in Ajax in 1987, winning the UEFA Cup in 1992. In November 1992, he was traded to the Italian club Foggia and replaced as leftwinger by Marc Overmars. During his time there, he represented his country at the 1994 World Cup, scoring once as the Netherlands reached the quarter-finals. After the World Cup, he moved to England after Nottingham Forest paid their record fee of £2.5million for his services. His first season at the City Ground was a success, as he provided a strong partner for Stan Collymore. He helped the newly-promoted side finish an impressive third in the Premiership and qualify for the UEFA Cup – the first time Forest had achieved European qualification in the post-Heysel era. Collymore was sold to Liverpool in the summer of 1995, although Forest did reach the UEFA Cup quarter-finals.
