Eelco Schattorie (born 18 December 1971) is a Dutch football coach and former player who currently manages Saudi Professional League side Al-Ettifaq.
Born in Swalmen, Schattorie started as a youth and assistant coach with Dutch club VVV-Venlo. 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. After spending twelve years with VVV-Venlo, Schattorie moved to the United Arab Emirates in 2002 to work as an assistant to Jan Versleljen at Al Jazira and as their under-18 head coach. After spending a season in the UAE, Schattorie moved to Saudi Arabia to again work as an assistant to Jan Versleijen at Al-Ettifaq. He also worked as assistant coach to Versleijen at another Emirati club, Al-Shaab. Schattorie returned to Al-Ettifaq in 2008 as under-23 head coach and helped the side win the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Cup. Schattorie then moved to Oman where he was technical director at Muscat Club.
Schattorie became the head coach of Bahraini club, Al-Riffa before returning to Muscat Club as their head coach in 2007. 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. He then stayed with the club till February 2009, when he became the head coach of Omani side, Fanja. After going undefeated for most of the season during the 2009–10 season, Fanja were defeated in the promotion play-offs against Al-Oruba. 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.
