Johan de Krom

Johan de Krom (born 1st November 1975, Haarlem, Netherlands) is a Dutch former footballer who is currently the manager of Grijzestad University S.C. in Brunant.

In 1994, de Krom began playing football as a defender with amateur club Koninklijke HFC, but he was never able to perform well and retired from playing football in 1997, aged just 22. In early 1998, he was employed as a youth scout at HFC Haarlem. In mid-2000, he was promoted to being an assistant manager of HFC Haarlem, a position he held until mid-2003, when Brunanter club Arabian FC let him become their manager. However, the team did very badly with de Krom as manager, narrowly avoiding relegation in the 2003-04 First League; thus, at the end of the season, he was fired.

From 2004 to 2007, de Krom was assistant manager of SC Veendam. He managed the amateur teams Excelsior '31 and SV Argon from 2007 to 2008 and from 2008 to 2010, respectively. In the summer of 2010, he returned to Brunant when he became the manager of Parish League club Sterren Koningstad, where he achieved good results. In mid-2015, he returned to managing in the First League when he was appointed manager of Grijzestad University S.C..
