Coaching career

From 2004 to 2008, van der Luer worked as a youth coach for Roda JC.[2] In 2008, he then became manager of Alemannia Aachen's reserve team.[3] He was later also appointed sporting director of the club's youth sector alongside his reserve team manager job. He stopped as manager for the reserve team at the end of the 2009-10 season and continued as head of the youth sector and assistant manager for the first team. He left the club in September 2011 alongside manager Peter Hyballa.

In July 2012 van der Luer became new manager of KFC Uerdingen 05. He guided the club to promotion to the Regionalliga in his first season. He was sacked in March 2014.[4]

In 2015 he return to his old club Roda JC as manager for the second team, Jong Roda JC, and a scout for the first team.[5] When Robert Molenaar was sacked as manager of Roda's first team in March 2019, van der Luer was installed as caretaker manager for the rest of the season.[6] Van der Luer left the club at the end of the season, where his contract expired.[7]
