He was appointed manager of theAustralian under-20 national teamin June 2008.[4]

In November 2011, Versleijen, after three and a half years and one Under 17, two under 20 World Cup cycles, decided not to re-apply for a position in Australia's youth set up, after the FFA restructures his old role, splitting it into two positions.[5]

In January 2013, after the dismissal ofMaarten Stekelenburg,and the interim managerial positions of bothWilfred MugeyiandJan PruijnforAjax Cape Town,Versleijen took over as the third care taker for the Cape club, intended to see the South African club through until the end of the 2012-13Premier Soccer Leagueseason.[6]

On 24 April 2013, Versleijen announced his early resignation from his interim coaching position at Ajax Cape Town, leaving the Cape club while placed in the relegation zone, just ahead of their derby match against crosstown rivalsChippa United.His reason for leaving the club was due to the hiring ofMuhsin Ertuğralas the newly appointed Technical Director at the Cape club without his knowledge.[7]
