Football career

Player

Corneille was a youth player for VVV-Venlo. On 27 Augustus 1994 he played his first games in the senior squad against FC Den Bosch, in a game that Venlo won 3–4. He played five seasons for VVV in the Eerste Divisie, as a base player on the squad and became its captain. In 1999 he moved to FC Eindhoven, where he played another two seasons in the Eerste Divisie. In 2001 started playing in lower leagues for FC Hilversum, Kozakken Boys, IJsselmeervogels, and BVV Barendrecht. With IJsselmeervogels, Corneille won the national championship for amateurs in 2006. While an active player, he obtained trainer certification and in 2008 joined the technical staff of ASWH. In March 2008, he stopped playing.

Manager

After Henk Wisman left ASWH for Almere, Corneille served several months as the interim manager of ASWH.[1] In 2009 he became manager of RVVH in the Hoofdklasse, yet resigned after a few months.[2] In 2010, he moved to Hoofdklasse-side Alphense Boys which he coached for three years. In the final year, the club was close to promotion, however it lost in the playoffs against Haaglandia (0–1). The game ended in a riot for which Alphense Boys were punished by the KNVB.[3]

Corneille moved to the Topklasse anyway with his new club Kozakken Boys, who fired him before the end of the season.[4] At that time he had already signed with IJsselmeervogels for the 2014–2015 season.[5] He combined the position of managing IJsselmeervogels with assistant manager of Feyenoord U19.[6]

In 2015 he became manager of VV Noordwijk and in 2016 assistant manager at Willem II, supporting manager Erwin van de Looi. In 2018 Corenille became the manager of Excelsior Maassluis in the Tweede Divisie.
