After retiring as a player, Breetveld worked as a broker and let holiday apartments in Brazil.[3] He was also manager of amateur side SC Reeland from 2003 to 2005,[4] as well as EBOH and Wieldrecht.[5]
He became an assistant manager at Dordrecht after signing a one-year contract in May 2011,[5] combining his role there with his position as manager of Wieldrecht,[6] and working 6 days a week in both roles.[6] He signed a contract extension with Dordrecht in April 2012.[7] He left his role with Dordrecht in 2013,[3] and in September 2014 was working as manager of amateur team SteDoCo.[3]
