Ed Engelkes (born 21 January 1964) is a Dutch football manager. Currently, he is head coach of Ajax Women and VVOG.
Engelkes started playing football at amateur club Alliance '22 from his hometown, Haarlem. Soon, he was scouted by a professional football club, HFC Haarlem. However, he would only appear for their reserve team, and during his early twenties, he expressed interest in becoming a manager.
Engelkes started his managerial career at HFC Haarlem, where he coached young players between the ages of 14 and 18. Subsequently, he moved to HBC from Heemstede, where he became a youth coach as well as assistant coach of the first team. During this time, he was also responsible for the youth academy of neighbouring club VV SIZO, from Hillegom.
In 1990, Engelkes was employed by the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB), where he was responsible for technical affairs, such as visiting football clubs in the Netherlands, the organisation of street football tournaments and the scouting of young talent for the KNVB's national youth teams.
In 2004, Engelkes became assistant coach of the Netherlands women's national football team, working alongside new head coach Vera Pauw. In addition, Engelkes worked as coordinator of all women's teams of the KNVB. As assistant coach, Engelkes saw the Netherlands Women qualify for their first major international tournament, the UEFA Women's Euro 2009, where they reached the semi-finals. In April 2010, when Pauw left her post with the Netherlands Women, Engelkes was appointed interim head coach. On 1 November 2010, he was succeeded by Roger Reijners and returned to being assistant coach. He fulfilled this position until May 2012.
Meanwhile, in 2007, AZ formed a women's team to compete in the newly formed Women's Eredivisie, and Engelkes became their manager in addition to his work as assistant with the Netherlands women's team. He led AZ to the Eredivisie title in each of his first three years in charge, from 2007–08 until 2009–10, and also won the KNVB Women's Cup, in 2010–11. After the 2010–11 season, AZ's women's team ceased to exist due to financial difficulties, which ended Engelkes' AZ tenure.
