Mohammed "Mo" Allach (born 20 September 1973) is a Dutch football executive and former player. He serves as the technical director of Groningen.
Allach studied social pedagogy after high school. He started his professional career at a relatively late age. He was a youth worker in Gouda, South Holland and played at amateur level with DWO in Zoetermeer and Alphense Boys when he was recruited in 1996 by the second-tier Eerste Divisie club Excelsior.[2][3] Halfway through the 1999–2000 season, Allach moved to top-tier side Feyenoord, where he did not make an official appearance.[4] In 2000, he left for Groningen, where he was a regular starter for more than two seasons.[5] In 2002, he was forced to leave there after a conflict with head coach Dwight Lodeweges, who called him a "source of friction" in the squad.[6]
Allach then played for Dordrecht in the Eerste Divisie and Twente in the Eredivisie. When he was unable to enforce a regular starting spot at the last club, he left for VVV-Venlo in 2004. In 2006, he retired from professional football and then started working as technical director and head of practice at VVV.[7]
