Career
Born in Swalmen, Schattorie started as a youth and assistant coach, later becoming the caretaker manager and finally Technical Director for Youth Development with Dutch club VVV-Venlo. In 1996 he served as the club's head coach on a caretaker basis for four matches in 1996 after former head coach, Jan Versleijen, left the club.[1] During his 3 league games and single cup game in charge, he earned the unusual record of being the club's only undefeated coach in history, an achievement he still retains. This run started with a 0-1 victory at FC Dordrecht away game, another victory against FC Emmen at home and a draw at FC den Bosch. One of his biggest achievements during his twelve-year stay at VVV Venlo was successfully bringing a lot of talents from the youth academy to the first team.
In 1999 he successfully obtained the highest tier UEFA PRO license at age 28. He was the youngest coach ever to obtain the UEFA PRO License under the official guidelines of the Dutch Football Association the KNVB. Over the course of his career Eelco maintained over a 53.4% win rate as head coach.
In 2002 Schattorie moved to the United Arab Emirates in 2002 to rejoin Jan Versleljen as Assistant Manager and under-18 manager at Al Jazira. After spending a season in the UAE, Schattorie followed Versleijen to Saudi Arabia to again work as an assistant with Al-Ettifaq.[2] He also later worked as assistant coach to Versleijen at another Emirati club, Al-Shaab.[3] Schattorie returned to Al-Ettifaq in 2008 as under-23 head coach and helped the side win the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Cup.[4] Schattorie then moved to Oman where he served as Technical Director at Muscat Club.[5]
Schattorie became the head coach of Bahraini club, Al-Riffa before returning to Muscat Club as their head coach in 2007.[5] After joining the club when they were at the bottom of the table, Schattorie managed to help the capital side finish eighth in the division, safe from relegation.[6] He then stayed with the club till February 2009, when he became the head coach of Omani side, Fanja.[3][7] After going undefeated for most of the season during the 2009–10 season, Fanja were defeated in the promotion play-offs against Al-Oruba.[8] Despite the season going very well for Schattorie, he was still let go by the club. Schattorie soon moved back to Saudi Arabia where he became head coach of Al-Khaleej in 2010.[9] After spending years in the Middle-East, Schattorie moved to Africa where he signed as head coach of Red Bull Ghana from 2011 to 2012.[10]

Eelco Schattorie joined the Red Bull Salzburg establishment in February 2011. He was appointed head coach at the Red Bull Ghana Academy in Africa. On his arrival the first team had 5 games to go and had to be saved from Relegation. Eelco managed to preserve the team's league status and started the new season building a team with the next new talents. In his brief time in Ghana, Eelco was able to assess and develop a number of young prospects and guide them into successful careers. One of the talents Patrick Twumasi who was playing as a winger under his former coach was retrained by Eelco into a striker position. His career took off from there and is currently playing for FC Astana and the Ghana national team.
