Hesterine Jannetje de Reus^[1] (born 6 December 1961) is a Dutch former soccer player who's later made a career as coach. She took charge of the China U-20 women team at the end of 2017.

Between 1983 and 1992 de Reus gained 43 caps as a player for the Netherlands women's national football team.^[2] In 1994 she began working for the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) as a coach. In 2007, she became the coach for the Dutch national under-19 team. On 1 October 2010 she took up an appointment as technical director and coach of the Jordan women's national football team,^[3] who won the following month's 2010 Arabia Cup. In April 2011, three Jordanian players refused to play for de Reus's team because they suspected she was a lesbian.^[4]

On 4 June 2012 PSV Eindhoven unveiled de Reus as the new women's coach for season 2012–13, the first season for PSV in the women's BeNe League. PSV entered into a partnership with FC Eindhoven and played as PSV/FC Eindhoven. In early 2013 she left Eindhoven to coach the Australia women's national football team.^[5]

De Reus was sacked by Football Federation Australia in April 2014, after a player mutiny brought about by her outspoken personality and demanding coaching methods.^[6]
