= Manager =

In 2015, Veenstra became the assistant manager of Zeelandia's first squad. The next season he managed Zeelandia. Thereafter, he coached VV Goes for two seasons.

In 2019, he signed as manager of ASWH. Before he started coaching, the club had made it against all odds into the Tweede Divisie. His first season at ASWH was challenging as the club did not have the funds for semiprofessional football. When the season ended early because of coronavirus, ASWH was dead-last yet stayed in the Tweede because all relegations had been canceled. He continued all three Tweede Divisie years with ASWH.

In 2022, he moved to Excelsior Rotterdam to manage its Youth Academy. From 2024, he manages Kloetinge.
