Jerrel "Jimmy" Floyd Hasselbaink (born March 27, 1972 in Paramaribo , Suriname , Kingdom of the Netherlands ) is a former Dutch football player and current coach . After starting his career in the Netherlands and Portugal, he became known primarily as a dangerous attacker in English football and he was the top scorer in the Premier League in 1999 and 2001 . Between 1998 and 2002 he made 23 international matches for the Netherlands and was part of the 1998 World Cup squad for "Oranje". The biggest club successes for him were winning the runner-up in 2004 with Chelsea and reaching three cup final games with Chelsea in 2002 ( FA Cup ), Middlesbrough FC in 2006 ( UEFA Cup ) and the Welsh club Cardiff City in 2008 (again FA Cup ) however, all of them were lost.

Athletic career

Club career

Career start in the Netherlands and Portugal

Hasselbaink was the youngest child with five other siblings in Suriname . In October 1978 his mother moved with him and three other children to Zaandam in the Netherlands. He first gained experience in football at Gestaagt Volharding Overwint (GVO). There he was initially even in goal before he retrained to right wingers for the Zaansche Football Club (ZFC) and Zaanlandia . Apart from sports, he grew up in a socially deprived area and, as a member of a youth gang, spent three months in a correctional facility after a theft. He then joined the DWS youth team , but was disfellowshipped after stealing the watch from a first-team player. His career in adult football then began at Telstar and there, too, he could not get rid of the bad company. Numerous disciplinary penalties due to his repeated lack of punctuality were the result and in the year after his debut on October 27, 1990 against VVV-Venlo (0: 2), head coach Niels Overweg dismissed him after he failed to show up again in time for the game. He then trained at AZ Alkmaar , where his brother Carlos already played, and shortly afterwards received a professional contract. At the end of the 1992/93 season Hasselbaink completed a total of 46 second division games and scored five goals before coach Henk Wullems decided against continuing the engagement. He then played in vain for FC Eindhoven , did not come to a final deal with PEC Zwolle and trained with HFC Haarlem during the 1993/94 season . In terms of competition he was only on the way in amateur football for Neerlandia and he was increasingly looking for a professional engagement abroad. In this regard, he also spent a little time in Austria with Admira Wacker .

Finally, in August 1995, he convinced Manuel Fernandes, the coach of the first division promoted SC Campomaiorense, in Portugal . It was also the birth of his nickname "Jimmy", which he held for the president of the club. At first he wanted to keep his engagement a secret and simply stated that he had hired "a Jimmy". Hasselbaink's start was bumpy and after four goalless games he missed a penalty in the fifth. Here he also drew resentment because he had "pushed ahead" against the regular shooter Stanimir Stoilow , but his later two goals to the 2-0 win against Gil Vicente rehabilitated him afterwards. The small club was ultimately not to survive the season and was relegated after only one year of first class . Hasselbaink then moved to Boavista Porto in the summer of 1996 . In a turbulent 1996/97 season, in which two coaches Zoran Filipović and João Resende Alves had to leave the club prematurely and which was then played to the end with Rui Casaca , the "Panthers" only achieved a disappointing seventh place in the league . Nevertheless, Hasselbaink's first year ended successfully with winning the Portuguese Cup and in the championship he was the second best striker behind Mário Jardel as a center forward . He scored three goals twice in one game: 3-0 against Marítimo Funchal and 7-0 against Gil Vicente (his team-mate Nuno Gomes did the same there). In the cup final he had to sit on the bench after disagreements about his upcoming move to England with coach Casaca, but towards the end of the game he helped defend the 3-2 lead against Benfica Lisbon after his substitution for Erwin Sánchez .

Leeds United & Atlético Madrid

For a transfer fee of two million pounds, Hasselbaink moved to Leeds United in the Premier League in the summer of 1997 . After scoring his first goal against Arsenal, he had to wait until his ninth league appearance for the next goal, but from then on he regularly hit the opposing team. In the end, there were 16 Premier League goals this season that played a key role in making it into the Dutch national team. In his second year at Elland Road , Hasselbaink was even more accurate and with 18 goals in 36 league matches he was (together with Michael Owen and Dwight Yorke ) top scorer in the Premier League. The increased expectations in the appendix of Leeds United then got a damper when Hasselbaink approached the club management with very high salary demands and since these were not met, he moved to Spain to Atlético Madrid at the beginning of the 1999/2000 season , with the transfer proceeds from £ 12million resulted in at least a significant profit margin for Leeds within two years.

In Madrid he maintained his scoring risk and scored 24 league goals during the 1999/2000 season (and thus exactly half of his team in total and the second most league-wide). However, this was not enough for relegation and Atlético ultimately rose as the penultimate in the second division. In addition, he had scored seven goals in the UEFA Cup for Madrid, so it was clear that another move was due after just one year. So he moved back to England in June 2000 and hired Chelsea FC for a transfer fee of 15 million pounds .

Chelsea FC

The "Blues" had wanted to sign him the year before, but had failed the veto of Leeds United, which was not prepared to hand over the striker to a direct competitor for the title. On his debut in the English Supercup, he scored a goal to beat Manchester United 2-0 . Although Chelsea were slow to pick up the pace and sacked their coach Gianluca Vialli early on , Hasselbaink found his way back to good form under successor Claudio Ranieri , who had recently been to Atlético Madrid. On October 21, 2000 he scored four goals in a 6-1 win against Coventry City , which he followed a week later with two goals to make it 3-0 against Tottenham Hotspur . At the end of the 2000/01 season, he had scored 23 times in 35 Premier League games, topping the list of scorers. Although there was occasional criticism of his supposedly “selfish” style of play in terms of “team service”, he also had the best value within the team when it came to assists . In the 2001/02 season Hasselbaink equalized his league result and together with Eiður Guðjohnsen he formed a dangerous storm duo that scored 52 goals in all competitions. Hasselbaink was particularly conspicuous in the cup competitions and after moving into the league cup semi- finals he scored two goals in the first leg against Tottenham before a 5-1 defeat in the second game meant elimination - here he was even wrongly sent off, although his teammate Mario Melchiot had committed the punishable foul on Teddy Sheringham . Six weeks later, Chelsea took revenge on Tottenham in the FA Cup quarter-finals and Hasselbaink contributed three goals to make it 4-0. He was injured in the lead-up to the league match against Middlesbrough FC and was apparently not fully recovered in the FA Cup final against Arsenal . He was finally substituted at 0-0 in the 68th minute for Gianfranco Zola and had to watch the following 2-0 defeat from outside.

Hasselbaink underwent an operation in the summer of 2002, thus missing a large part of the pre-season and despite the fact that Chelsea celebrated a great success in the 2002/03 season with the somewhat unexpected qualification for the Champions League , the year went on forever Hasselbaink still looked streaky. He scored relatively few 15 goals in 44 games. When the new Russian owner Roman Abramowitsch finally made a number of high-profile signings from mid-2003, Hasselbaink's days in Chelsea seemed numbered. Under these conditions, however, he got along well and despite some absences caused by the new competitors Adrian Mutu and Hernán Crespo , he also completed the 2003/04 season as Chelsea's top scorer. In the Champions League , he led Chelsea to a quarter-finals win against Arsenal before he was eliminated with his men in the semi-finals against AS Monaco . I also got injured in the second leg against the Monegasque and the game there was also his last for Chelsea. Previously, he had scored the 1-0 win in Tottenham for the last time and completed his series of ten goals in eight games against the "Spurs". Despite a one-year remaining contract term, Hasselbaink ended his engagement in Chelsea in June 2004 and received clearance for a transfer-free club change.

Middlesbrough, Charlton & Cardiff

Hasselbaink signed a two-year contract with Middlesbrough FC and decided against the equally interested clubs Fulham , Celtic Glasgow and Glasgow Rangers . Middlesbrough was considered to be a future aspirant for a Champions League participation with the commitment of further national players. This was not achieved, but with 13 goals in 36 Premier League games, the new signing "Boro" helped qualify for the UEFA Cup . In his second year he drew attention to himself in 22 cup games with eight goals and after successes against Skoda Xanthi , Grasshoppers Zurich , Dnipro Dnipropetrowsk , Litex Lovetsch , VfB Stuttgart , AS Roma , FC Basel and Steaua Bucharest he reached with Middlesbrough FC won the UEFA Cup final, which was clearly lost 4-0 to Sevilla FC .

At the beginning of July 2006, Hasselbaink again rejected new advances from Celtic; instead he stayed in the English Premier League with his again free transfer to Charlton Athletic . Against his ex-club Chelsea he scored his first goal for the "Addicks" in the 2-1 defeat. He later scored another goal against Middlesbrough, but overall the 2006/07 season was disappointing for him. He scored just four goals in 29 competitive games and was then given permission to change clubs again. Charlton also had to go into the second division as the bottom of the table .

With Leicester City , the parties did not initially find an agreement in August 2007 and finally the trip to Wales went to Cardiff City . Cardiff President Peter Ridsdale knew Hasselbaink from his time at Leeds United and together with Robbie Fowler Hasselbaink formed a very experienced striker duo. After initial difficulties he convinced coach Dave Jones and especially in the FA Cup he was a key player on the surprising way to the final. There he completed the first 70 minutes against Portsmouth FC before he was substituted for Steven Thompson . The game was lost 0-1. Talks were then held about a possible extension of his engagement, but in July 2008 these ended in a dispute over money issues.

Dutch national team

Hasselbaink first came into the focus of the Dutch national team during his time in England at Leeds United. He made his debut on May 27, 1998 under Guus Hiddink in the friendly against Cameroon (0-0) by substitution in the last half hours for Marc Overmars . Five days later he scored his first international goal in a 5-1 win against Paraguay and then he primarily drove to France as a substitute behind established strikers such as Patrick Kluivert , Dennis Bergkamp and Pierre van Hooijdonk as well as wingers Boudewijn Zenden and Marc Overmars to the World Cup finals . Due to an initial injury misery in the team, he was in the starting line-up in the first group game against Belgium , but was replaced for Bergkamp after 64 minutes. After Kluivert was suspended in the Belgium game, Bergkamp played against South Korea (5: 0) as the only point and in the third game against Mexico (2: 2) Hasselbaink made a last appearance for Bergkamp from the 79th minute. After Kluivert's return he was the “fourth striker” and was therefore left out for the rest of the tournament.

The change of coach from Hiddink to his former assistant Frank Rijkaard did not benefit Hasselbaink, as he mostly did without him. The next use followed on August 18, 1999 at the side of Kluivert and Ruud van Nistelrooy against Denmark (0-0). Six months later he played ten minutes against Germany and 70 minutes against Scotland and although van Nistelrooy was unable to go to Euro 2000 due to an injury , Rijkaard also did without Hasselbaink as he preferred Bergkamp, ​​Kluivert, van Hooijdonk, Roy Makaay and Peter van Vossen . When in July 2000 Louis van Gaal took over as coach, his prospects improved slightly. In the 2-1 win on November 15, 2001 in Spain , he scored a goal for a 2-1 win, but was then sent off after an argument with Fernando Hierro . During qualifying for the 2002 World Cup finals , he scored in three consecutive competitive games, but ultimately the Netherlands missed out on third place in the group. Under the new national coach Dick Advocaat Hasselbaink initially remained in focus, but his appearance on September 7, 2002 against Belarus (3-0) was also his last for "Oranje".

Coaching stations

In October 2009 Hasselbaink kept fit at sixth division FC Woking and also did his first coaching duties. He then looked after Chelsea's U-16 team at the Nike Academy and worked in parallel on the UEFA B and A coaching licenses . Between July 2011 and January 2013 he was part of the coaching staff of Nottingham Forest and he left the club following the resignation of head coach Sean O'Driscoll . He then took on his first head coach role in May 2013 at the Belgian club Royal Antwerp , which had recently been relegated to the second division. With a radically reduced budget and a large number of very young players, he achieved a respectable success with seventh place. However, in May 2014 he decided not to continue this project.

Instead, he returned to English football in November 2014 and became the coach of fourth division club Burton Albion . He signed a two and a half year contract and proved himself in this new role, as the club rose to the third highest division under his direction for the first time in the club's history. There, too, the positive sporting development did not stall, so that more prominent clubs took notice of him. In December 2015 Hasselbaink took on a new role at the second division side Queens Park Rangers and at the time of his departure, Burton Albion was leading the third division table. The 2015/16 season ended for Hasselbaink and the "Hoops" in midfield.

Hasselbaink finished the season in twelfth place with “QPR” and after a bumpy start to the following season 2016/17 he was released in November 2016. The club was 17th at the time and had played a total of 47 games under Hasselbaink's direction. In September 2017 Hasselbaink took over the third division club Northampton Town . Hasselbaink was released again at the beginning of April 2018, before he had not won the previous nine games with the team and had slipped with the team to a relegation zone.
