Career

Pim Verbeek 1989

Pim Verbeek was the son of Sparta player Koos Verbeek . Like his father, he also played for the Rotterdam club; from 1977 to 1980 he appeared in 25 Eredivisie games, in which he scored two goals. Pim Verbeek then began his coaching career in 1981 at the age of 25 at the Dutch club FC Dordrecht as an assistant coach . From 1984 to 1987 he coached Unitas Gorinchem , an amateur club in the third highest Dutch league. Then Verbeek got his first professional contract as head coach of the second division VBV De Graafschap Doetinchem . He was able to celebrate a great success with the successful Dutch club Feyenoord Rotterdam , where he was initially head coach for a year. In 1990 he became the assistant coach of Hans Hagelstein , with whom he led the team to win the KNVB Cup in 1991 . In the following six years, Verbeek coached three other Dutch clubs - FC Wageningen , FC Groningen and Fortuna Sittard .

In 1998 he left his home country for the first time and went to Japan to coach Ōmiya Ardija 's team. This had to relegate in 1999 in the course of the establishment of a second Japanese professional league, the J. League Division 2 . Only a year later, Verbeek left the club and returned to his homeland, where he worked for a year in the scouting department of the Dutch national football team . In 2001 he went back to Asia and became the assistant coach of Guus Hiddink for the South Korean national soccer team , which in 2002 was only eliminated in the semi-finals against Germany at the soccer world cup in its own country and achieved its greatest sporting success to date.

After his time in South Korea another brief engagement with the Japanese club Kyoto Purple Sanga followed , whose relegation Pim Verbeek could not prevent in 2003. In 2004 he coached the national football team of the Netherlands Antilles , and in 2005 he became assistant coach of his compatriot Dick Advocaat at the Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach . In April 2005, the coaching team Advocaat / Verbeek resigned from Borussia Mönchengladbach and from then on trained the national soccer team of the United Arab Emirates for two months . Then both went to South Korea, where Verbeek was hired for the second time as an assistant coach of the South Korean national soccer team . At the 2006 World Cup , South Korea was eliminated in the preliminary round. After Advocaat coached Zenit St. Petersburg from July 1, 2006 , his post in South Korea became vacant and Verbeek was promoted from co-coach to head coach. In July 2007, he asked for his contract to be terminated after the Korean media criticized him for the way his team played. Shortly before that, South Korea finished third in the 2007 Asian Football Championship .

From December 2007 to summer 2010 Verbeek coached the Australian national team . He led the team to take part in the 2010 Soccer World Cup in South Africa, where they missed the last 16 with four points. From April 8, 2010 Verbeek coached the U-23s of Morocco, who took part in the qualification for the 2012 Olympic Games . The engagement ended in 2014. From 2016 to January 2019 he coached the Omani national team . He then worked again for Sparta Rotterdam as a board member.

In November 2019, he died of cancer that was diagnosed in 2015.
