Maarten "Martin" Cornelis Jol [ jɔl ] (born January 16, 1956 in The Hague , Netherlands ) is a Dutch football coach and former football player . Since November 2015 he has been a member of the supervisory board of his hometown club ADO Den Haag .

Career

player

The son of a fisherman from Scheveningen and his wife, who came from what was then the island of Urk , was the fifth of six children; he has remained connected with his four years older brother Cock Jol in his professional life: Cock became his brother's best friend and later his right-hand man and confidant. The family was strictly Protestant , with going to church and school on Sundays . As children, the brothers joined the Haagse Voetbalvereniging JAC in Wassenaar - the main reason for choosing a club was that JAC played in orange, the shirt color of the national team . Both played in the club's first team, and Martin was the only player from an amateur club at the time to be appointed to the youth national team. At the age of 16, Martin Jol received his first professional contract with FC Den Haag . From 1973 to 1978 he was part of the Dutch first division team and won the KNVB Cup with him at the end of his second season . He then moved to Germany for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich , for which he only played ten games. Before the first match day, on August 12, in the 0-1 defeat in the away game against Borussia Dortmund , he played a week earlier in the first main round of the DFB Cup in a 5-0 home win over SSV Glött . After only one season he returned to the Netherlands , was active two seasons for the first division club FC Twente Enschede before moving to England in 1982 for first division club West Bromwich Albion . With this club - in which he was to replace Bryan Robson - he reached the semi-finals in both the FA Cup and the League Cup , the greatest success in three years. He moved to league rivals Coventry City for one season and then returned to his home country. With the second division club FC Den Haag he rose to the Eredivisie in 1986 as champion - and best Eerste-Divisie - i.e. second division player , stayed first class for two years and was relegated again in 1988. After a year in the second division, Jol ended his active football career. For the senior national team of his country he played during his time at FC Twente three times. Jol made his debut in Orange on October 11, 1980 in a 1-1 draw with Germany ; the other games he completed over the turn of the year at the Mini World Cup against Uruguay and Italy .

Trainer

Dutch clubs

Jol switched to coaching in 1991 , taking over the amateur team of his home club, which, in contrast to the professional team, was still called ADO , and stayed there until 1995, before after a year with the amateur club SVV Scheveningen he took over an office in the top Dutch league with Roda Kerkrade . His greatest success there was winning the Dutch Cup in 1997, which was synonymous with the club's first title win in 30 years. Between 1998 and 2004 Jol was the coach of the RKC Waalwijk . He led this club during his tenure from the relegation regions to the top half of the table and fought regularly with the team for qualification for a European club competition.

Tottenham Hotspur

In 2004 he was signed by Frank Arnesen - sports director of Tottenham Hotspur - as assistant coach to Jacques Santini , although Sir Alex Ferguson had previously considered joining Jol as an assistant, but then decided on Carlos Queiroz . After only 17 games, Santini left Spurs and Jol took over the coaching position initially on an interim basis and later as permanent head coach. Although his tenure as coach began there with a defeat, he was able to improve the performance of the team steadily and led the club to ninth place, which had never been surpassed in the nine seasons before. Jol missed qualifying for a European competition with Tottenham by just three points. In December 2004 Jol was awarded the title of the best coach in the past month in the FA and speculation ensued in the spring of 2005 about his possible move to Ajax Amsterdam after the coaching position there became vacant.

Jol was able to continue the positive development of Tottenham in the following 2005/06 season and finished the season with his team in fifth place in the table after the club had never ranked outside the top six teams during the entire period. In the 2006/2007 season the 5th place could be achieved again.

After a bad start to the season with just one win from ten league games and table position 18, Jol resigned on October 25, 2007 at Tottenham.

Hamburger SV

From the 2008/09 season Jol was the new head coach of Hamburger SV . His contract was dated until 2010. However, he only stayed a year. Under Jol, HSV made it into the UEFA Cup semi-finals and the DFB Cup semi-finals, in which they failed at Werder Bremen . Although the team in the Bundesliga had been leading the table for a week after the 21st matchday and on matchday 26 was still tied on points with the league leaders and eventual champions VfL Wolfsburg , they only narrowly qualified for participation by finishing fifth the newly created UEFA Europa League .

Ajax Amsterdam

On May 26, 2009, Ajax Amsterdam signed Jol for the new season after he had terminated his contract with HSV on the same day. He succeeded Marco van Basten . With Ajax, he finished second in the Eredivisie behind FC Twente Enschede . In the battle for the KNVB Cup , Jol's team reached the final and was able to prevail in May 2010 2-0 at home and 4-1 in De Kuip against Feyenoord Rotterdam . The high expectations of regaining first place among the Dutch clubs in the 2010/11 season were not met. The match for the Johan Cruyff Schaal lost Ajax at the beginning of the new season with 0: 1 against the champions from Enschede. At the end of the first half of the season, Ajax was five points behind leaders PSV Eindhoven and the tied FC Twente in fourth place. Jol then resigned as head coach on December 6, 2010. Former Ajax player Frank de Boer , at that time coach of the Ajax A youth and assistant coach of the national team , temporarily took over the sporting direction for him.

Fulham FC

During the summer break of 2011, Fulham FC signed Jol as their new head coach. He signed a two-year contract until June 30, 2013 with an option for another year. In the 2011/2012 season his team reached 9th place in the table, in the following 2012/2013 season his team reached 12th place in the Premiere League despite the departures of various top performers. The club separated from him on December 1, 2013 after 13 days of his third season, as the 3-0 defeat in the away game against West Ham United was the fifth in a row.

al Ahly Cairo

On February 24, 2016, Jol was signed by the Egyptian first division club al Ahly Cairo as the new head coach. Despite winning the championship, reaching the cup finals, but due to extreme fanatics due to missing the Champions League final, Martin Jol resigned as head coach after six months in office.
