Jan Willem van Ede (born 13 April 1963 in Utrecht) is a retired Dutch football goalkeeper.
He played the majority of his career for hometown club FC Utrecht[1] and as of 2017, still holds the record of most Eredivisie games played for the club with 409.[2] He made his professional debut on 8 September 1982 for Utrecht against PEC Zwolle and won the 1985 KNVB Cup with the club.[3]
He later became reserve goalkeeper at PSV and FC Twente[4] and also played for Haarlem in the Eerste Divisie and NAC.
In 1999, Van Ede was sentenced to pay a compensation after kicking Roda JC winger Danny Hoekman 10 years earlier, which took Hoekman out of the game for almost two years due to a knee injury.[5][6]
Van Ede worked as assistant and goalkeeper coach of the Netherlands women from 2005 but was dismissed in summer 2016 due to a difference in view with manager Arjan van der Laan.[7] Next to his job with the Dutch FA, he was appointed coach of amateur side Montfoort in December 2015.[8]
In September 2019 van Ede was appointed the Republic of Ireland Women's team goalkeeping coach, reuniting with manager Vera Pauw.[9]
