Sandor van der Heide (born 30 March 1978) is a Dutch football manager and former player, currently working as an assistant manager for SC Cambuur.
Born in Ysbrechtum, Friesland, Van der Heide joined SC Cambuur, signing a professional contract in 1997.
He made his Cambuur debut in a 4–1 Eerste Divisie win over Telstar on 23 August 1997, coming on as a substitute for René van Rijswijk.[1]
In March 2012 it was announced, that van der Heide would retire from professional football and join ONS Sneek as a playing assistant manager.[2]
In May 2014, van der Heide returned to SC Cambuur as assistant manager of Henk de Jong but also stayed in a role as an advisor at ONS Sneek.[3] On 10 November 2015, he stopped as assistant manager and continued as a scout and analyzer for the club.[4] A few days later, he left the club and became manager of IJsselmeervogels.[5] On 23 January 2017, he also accepted an offer from De Graafschap, becoming Henk de Jong's assistant manager on part-time, because he still was the manager of IJsselmeervogels.[6] However, van der Heide decided to leave IJsselmeervogels with immediate effect on 17 August 2017 because he couldn't combine the two jobs.[7] He was then hired on full-time by De Graafschap.[8]
Ahead of the 2019-20 season, he once again returned to SC Cambuur as assistant manager of Henk de Jong.[9]
