Ruud Kaiser (born 26 December 1960) is a Dutch association football manager and former player, who played as a midfielder.

Playing career

Born in

KFC Dessel Sport
.

Coaching career

Kaiser then moved into coaching, where he has earned a reputation as a specialist at spotting and working with young players. Kaiser spent seven years at

2005 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship and third place in the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship
. During this time he also headed up international scouting for the Dutch FA.

From 2006 to 2007 Kaiser was coach of the

Academy, and was appointed as Dynamo Dresden manager in July 2008, replacing Eduard Geyer
who was fired on 4 October 2009.

Dynamo struggled for the first half of Kaiser's first season in charge, with the team generally performing well, but unable to convert this into goals. Things picked up in the second half of the season, though, and the team finished in a respectable position in the top half of the 3. Liga table. However, the following season also started badly, and in October, with six defeats in the first twelve games, Dynamo found themselves in the relegation zone, and Kaiser was sacked.

In April 2010 Kaiser signed a two-year contract with

Lierse SK for two years, Kaiser returned to a managerial role by signing with Eerste Divisie side FC Den Bosch
from July 2013.
