Guus Hiddink [ ˈɣyːs̺ ˈhɪdɪŋk ] (born November 8, 1946 in Varsseveld , then municipality of Wisch ) is a former Dutch football player and current coach .

Career as a player

Guus Hiddink began his professional career as a defender in 1967 at VBV De Graafschap Doetinchem , and also played for PSV Eindhoven and the North American Soccer League .

Career as a coach

After the end of his active career, Hiddink worked as an assistant coach at De Graafschap from 1982 to 1984 . At PSV Eindhoven he worked as an assistant coach from July 1984 before becoming a coach in March 1987. With PSV Eindhoven he won the Dutch championship three times (1987, 1988, 1989) and the KNVB Cup (1988, 1989, 1990) and celebrated his greatest success as a club coach in 1988 when he and his team won the European Cup National champion and thus the triple of championship, association cup and European cup. After the 1989/1990 season he left Eindhoven.

In the 1990/1991 season, Hiddink worked for the Turkish club Fenerbahçe Istanbul , but could not win a title. In the summer of 1991 joined Hiddink in the Spanish La Liga for Valencia . He led the club to fourth place twice and thus into the UEFA Cup. However, the results there were disappointing (e.g. a 7-0 win at Karlsruher SC ) and so Hiddink was fired in November 1993.

In 1995 Guus Hiddink became national coach of the Netherlands . The Dutch players were considered to be great talents at the time, but they also had a reputation for obstructing an absolute breakthrough through internal disputes. Hiddink led the team to the European Championships in England in 1996 , where the team was eliminated in the quarter-finals against France on penalties (4-5). In 1998 the Netherlands took part in the World Cup in France and impressed with an offensive game. In the semifinals, it was again after penalties, this time against Brazil, the end (3: 5). The team finally reached fourth place (1: 2 against Croatia). Shortly thereafter, Hiddink resigned from his post.

In July 1998, Guus Hiddink took over as coach at Real Madrid . But he was released in February 1999 after poor results in the league. In December 1998 he won the World Cup with Real. On February 1, 2000, Hiddink became a coach at Betis Sevilla . His engagement there ended in May 2000 after he could celebrate only one win in 13 games and the team was in acute danger of relegation. At the end of the season, Sevilla actually had to relegate from the Primera División.

On January 1, 2001 Guus Hiddink was the national coach of South Korea . South Korea would host the World Cup with Japan in 2002, and the hosts were expected to advance. In the end, the team came in fourth. Since then, Hiddink has been venerated in South Korea and has been an honorary citizen of Busan since 2003 . The Korean airline "Korean Air" bought him first class tickets for four years in the hope that he would remain a coach until the 2006 World Cup , but Hiddink saw his job in South Korea as fulfilled.

In 2002, Hiddink was named National Coach of the Year by FIFA .

After the successful World Cup, Hiddink returned to PSV Eindhoven and made the club the most successful in the Netherlands again. He won the championship in 2003, 2005 and 2006, the association cup in 2005 and also made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2005, where they were unlucky enough to be eliminated from AC Milan.

He took part in the 2006 World Cup with Australia . At the tournament in Germany he surprisingly led the Socceroos to the last sixteen, where the team was eliminated against eventual world champions Italy .

From the summer of 2006, Hiddink coached the Russian national team . The corresponding contract was signed on April 13, 2006. On October 10, 2007 it was announced that his contract would be extended for another two years until 2010. On November 21, 2007, Hiddink qualified for the 2008 European Championships in Austria and Switzerland. This is the fifth time that he has reached a major tournament as national coach. However, Hiddink was not able to reach the final this time either. The team lost 3-0 against Spain in the semi-finals. In qualifying for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Russia finished second behind the German team and later lost out in the playoff games against Slovenia. Hiddink then ended his engagement in summer 2010.

On February 11, 2009 he was committed as a coach at Chelsea until the end of the 2008/09 season . However, he also kept the coaching office of the Russian national team, so he did not sign a contract for another season. With Hiddink, Chelsea won the FA Cup in 2009 . At the end of the season he was replaced by Carlo Ancelotti .

From August 2010, Hiddink became the new national coach for Turkey with the task of qualifying for the 2012 European Football Championship . A two-year contract was agreed, with Hiddink having an option for a further two years. Hiddink was the first foreign national coach after Sepp Piontek . But he was already under pressure in October 2010 after Turkey lost to Azerbaijan. Subsequently, Hiddink increasingly relied on talent.

After Turkey failed in the playoffs to Croatia , Hiddink's contract was terminated by mutual agreement in November 2011. He was succeeded by Abdullah Avcı .

On February 17, 2012, Hiddink accepted an offer from Russian first division club Anzhi Makhachkala for an 18-month contract. In July 2013, he gave up his office on time. Despite his announcement on November 28, 2012 that he would end his coaching career at the end of the season, he was traded as the successor to Tito Vilanova , who had retired from FC Barcelona .

After the soccer World Cup in 2014 , Hiddink took over the Dutch national team for the second time as Bondscoach . He signed a contract in March 2014 until after the European Football Championship in 2016 . On June 29, 2015, the Dutch association and Hiddink agreed to end their collaboration on July 1 of that year.

At the end of December 2015, Hiddink took over the reigning English champions FC Chelsea, who were in 15th place in the table after 17 match days, from the sacked José Mourinho . As with his first engagement in 2009, he received a contract until the end of the season.

Upon request from North Korea , he is building the necessary structures for futsal there.
