Player career

Baan played in his youth for Sparta Rotterdam and for the amateur club RFC Rotterdam .

Coaching career

Baan entered the coaching business at the age of 22. His first stop was Fortuna Vlaardingen in 1965 , where he worked as a youth coach. For the following season he switched to the youth department of the then Eredivisie club Sparta Rotterdam . But the following year he was drawn to league rivals ADO Den Haag , where Baan was assistant to Ernst Happel (1966 to 1969) and Vaclav Jezek (1969 to 1972) between 1966 and 1972 . In the summer of 1972 he was hired for the first time as head coach and signed with VVV Venlo . There he made the promotion from the Eerste Divisie to the Eredivisie in 1976 , where he held the class until 1978, but was then replaced by Hans Croon . Then Jan Zwartkruis brought him to the Dutch national team . As his assistant coach, Baan worked with Zwartkruis until 1981, before he was replaced by Kees Rijvers . Baan worked under him until 1983 and in between worked as an interim trainer for the Oranje . In 1978 he looked after the team at the World Cup , and two years later at the European Championships in Italy . At the World Cup, the team only failed in the final against Argentina , in 1980 in the preliminary round. ADO Den Haag, for which he was already active as an assistant coach, secured Baan's services for the 1983/84 season. After three years in the second division, he finally made it to the House of Lords in 1986. Despite this success, the coach left the club and joined Roda Kerkrade . Despite a good fourth place and the associated best placement for years, this commitment was already over after a year. So Sparta Rotterdam lured him back to his hometown and hired the football teacher. Two twelfth places were not good enough for the club and in 1990 they went their separate ways again. Then Baan switched again to the Eerste Divisie and from then on wore the colors of SC Cambuur-Leeuwarden . In 1991/92 the team won first place and Baan was able to celebrate his third promotion with the third team. But as with The Hague, he did not stay with the promoted team this time, but dared to move to FC Twente Enschede . There he reached fifth place twice and established the team in the top flight of the Eredivisie. But this was not enough for the board and in the 1994/95 season Baan moved to Excelsior Rotterdam . In the summer of 1995, Baan signed as assistant coach to Dick Advocaat at PSV Eindhoven . In 1996/97 you could win the championship and in the previous year the KNVB Cup . Added to this are the successes in the game for the Johan Cruyff Schaal in 1996, 1997 and 1998. In 1998, Baan moved to Feyenoord Rotterdam as sports director for six years . In his first year with the red and whites , he won the Eredivisie and the Supercup. Until he left office, however, there were no further national successes. Baan's greatest triumph of that time was celebrated on May 8, 2002 when his team beat Borussia Dortmund 3-2 in the UEFA Cup final . After all these titles and working in the Netherlands, Baan moved abroad for the first time in 2004. The Arab association Al-Jazira Club lured him to the oriental cultural area, where he should work again as a sports director. After only twelve months, the two parties separated again and Baan was hired for the second time since 1978 by the Dutch Football Association. There he was in charge of youth sports as director of youth sports for a year. After the separation, there was a renewed engagement with ADO Den Haag. However, this was short-lived and on January 1, 2007, Baan tried again as head coach of the Australian U23 , but at the same time also held the position of sports director for the senior team . After Graham Arnold was adopted, he took over the management of the A-Elf for a game in November 2007, before Pim Verbeek became the new head coach. He was able to win this 1-0 against Nigeria . In 2008 he finished his work for Australia.
