Feyenoord Rotterdam youth teams in the summer of 1991 and continued until the summer of 1996. In his first major coaching assignment, Van den Berg coached
Zwart-Wit '28 in Hoofdklasse A. In 2000 the team ended 13th and relegated to
Eerste Klasse B. Exactly like Zwart-Wit a year before, the team ended the competition in
Hoofdklasse A in place 13 and relegated to Eerste Klasse B.
2006–2015: BVV Barendrecht to Topklasse; full-time coach From 2006 to 2015 Van den Berg trained
BVV Barendrecht, where he had previous played (his other soccer club, Zwart-Wit '28, folded in 2004). Van den Berg started his nine years at BVV with a championship in Eerste Klasse 1B, leading the
Barendrecht-side back to Hoofdklasse, from where it had relegated two years earlier. In 2010, Van den Berg led BVV to the championship of Hoofdklasse A, promoting Barendrecht for the first time to the
Topklasse. Towards the end of his years at BVV Barendrecht, he started coaching
IFC alongside BVV. promoting ASWH 1 right away, in the season 2015–2016, to the
Derde Divisie. That very same season he promoted the next door soccer club and small town rival, IFC, to the Hoofdklasse. In the Cup, ASWH beat
Chevremont,
RVVH,
De Treffers, and
SV Spakenburg. In October 2016 Van den Berg's contract with ASWH was extended until 2019. In December that year he signed to coach
PSV Poortugaal alongside ASWH, instead of IFC.
2018: Tweede Divisie championship with VV Katwijk; break In February 2018 Van den Berg was appointed trainer of
Tweede Klasse-side
VV Katwijk, replacing
Dick Schreuder who had joined the technical staff at
Philadelphia Union in January.
ASWH released Van den Berg from the remainder of his contract to pursue this opportunity. In his first game at Katwijk, Van den Berg's team was beaten 1–0 by
GVVV in
Veenendaal. In April, the team manager of first squad, Sander Molenaar, died. The championship was dedicated to Molenaar. He was replaced by
Jan Zoutman, who won the
Rinus Michels Award a year before Van den Berg. In November 2018 Van den Berg said he already refused a new team and that he considers his options carefully. Meanwhile, Katwijk kept paying his salary.
2019–2023: Relegation BVV; IFC again; Smitshoek; Kruisland On 13 December 2018, Van den Berg's signed with
BVV Barendrecht. He took on the challenge to keep Barendrecht in the Tweede Divisie. Van den Berg started coaching his former team on 2 January 2019. On 21 April 2019, he managed to gain a point against the champion and his former trainees at
VV Katwijk. BVV relegated to the Derde Divisie. In 2019–20 Van den Berg is back at coaching IFC that managed to remain in the Hoofdklasse under
Robert Verbeek. By the time the competition was broken off, IFC had reached the third position from where it would have qualified for the playoff for
Derde Divisie. Barendrecht had a slow start in the fall of 2019. In December 2019 it was decided that Van den Berg's contract would not be extended. By the end of January 2019, BVV ascended to 6th position, with Van den Berg still coaching. When the
COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands broke out and the league was stopped, BVV was ranked 7th in de Derde Divisie. In May 2020 Van den Berg was reportedly considered as the next manager for
Feyenoord U21. He wasn't selected. In the end, he signed for technical coordinator of
Barendrecht's other club,
VV Smitshoek, leading the youth teams and second squad. In 2021 he finished his second run at IFC as the club could no longer afford him. In 2023, he left Smitshoek and joined Kruisland. The stint did not last. ==Personal life==
