Stanley Menzo height - How tall is Stanley Menzo?

On 14 January 2019, Menzo was appointed as the manager of the reserve team of Beijing Sinobo Guoan in China.

In October 2010, Menzo resigned from his position at Cambuur in order to join Vitesse Arnhem as assistant to new head coach Albert Ferrer. In May 2013, he became the head coach of Lierse S.K., where he stayed until his sacking at the end of August 2014. On 28 October 2016, Menzo was appointed head coach of South African Premier Soccer League team, Ajax Cape Town. He left just before Christmas 2017.

When coach Peter Bosz left in June 2005, Menzo became AGOVV's manager, remaining in the position for only one season: AGOVV became a professional club in the second division, but he did not have the qualifications to exercise in that category, subsequently moving to Amsterdam-based amateur club Amsterdamsche FC.

In February 2005, Menzo received the necessary diploma to coach professional clubs. That summer, he returned as head manager of AGOVV. A year later, he joined FC Volendam, lasting two seasons (incomplete) and signing with Cambuur Leeuwarden, which he led to the second position in the second level in 2009–10, even though the team ultimately failed in the playoffs.

In the summer of 2004, after former Ajax teammate Marco van Basten became head coach of the national team, Menzo was named its goalkeeping coach, remained there for two years.

In the summer of 2001, after a second spell at Ajax, Menzo joined amateur club AGOVV Apeldoorn, helping it to the amateur title. He retired from football at the end of the season.

In the 1994 summer, Menzo signed with PSV Eindhoven, where he backed up Ronald Waterreus for two seasons. The 33-year-old managed to revive his career in Belgium with Lierse SK, which he helped win one league and one cup, eventually amassing nearly 100 official appearances. For a brief period of time, he also played in France for FC Girondins de Bordeaux, arriving in August 1997 to replace Gilbert Bodart. However, having lost his place to Ulrich Ramé (who would be the club's first-choice for more than one decade), he returned to Lierse, in January 1998.

After legendary Hans van Breukelen retired from international play following the latter competition, Menzo was named the starter for the qualification stages of the 1994 World Cup; following two unassuming performances, the 1–2 loss in Norway and a 2–2 home draw against Poland, he was benched, and ultimately did not even made the squad at all (Ed de Goey, Theo Snelders and van der Sar would be the goalkeepers listed as starter, reserve and third respectively).

Menzo then proceeded to remain an undisputed starter for seven full seasons, helping Ajax to the 1989–90 national title, as well as the 1986–87 European Cup Winners' Cup and the 1991–92 UEFA Cup. However, after a game in the latter competition the following season, a 2–4 loss at AJ Auxerre, during which he scored an own goal and was also directly related to another, he lost his place to youth graduate Edwin van der Sar, and never regained it.

Menzo gained six caps for the Netherlands, the first arriving in 1989. He then spent nearly three years without any further appearances, but was summoned for the squads present at both the 1990 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 1992, as third-choice.

After the two seasons 1983/1984 and 1984/1985 deputising for Hans Galjé, in which Menzo played only a few matches in April 1984, May 1985 and June 1985, and after a loan to fellow league side HFC Haarlem (September 1983-March 1984), he became the starter for the 1985–86 campaign. Newly appointed manager Johan Cruyff believed that Menzo was one of the first goalkeepers who could also make his mark as a field player.

Stanley Purl Menzo (born 15 October 1963) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper, and worked as a manager of Ajax Cape Town in the South African Premier Soccer League. He is the manager of the reserve team of Beijing Sinobo Guoan in China.
