Theodorus Jacob de Jong (born August 11, 1947 in Leeuwarden , Netherlands ) is a former Dutch football player who has been working as a coach since 1986 . With the national team he was runner-up in 1974 as a player , with Feyenoord Rotterdam he won the UEFA Cup in the same year .
Club career
De Jong grew up in Leeuwarden but moved to Amsterdam with his parents when he was seven . Here he went through the youth teams of Blauw-Wit and finally played in their first team in the Eerste Divisie . In 1970 he moved to the Eredivisie at the NEC in Nijmegen . Under coaching legend Wiel Coerver , the all-rounder, who can be used in midfield or left wing, quickly developed into one of the best players in his team. He was "strong, fast, technically gifted and had excellent shooting technique," Lex Schoenmaker later called him a "running miracle". In 31 games of the season he scored 15 goals, in his second season five goals in 26 games before he was injured in the spring of 1972 and was out until the end of the season.
Nevertheless, the new national player moved to Feijenoord for a transfer fee of 500,000 guilders . He quickly integrated himself into the team of trainer Ernst Happel - with Wim Jansen , Wim Rijsbergen , Wim van Hanegem , Dick Schneider and Lex Schoenmaker - and ousted veteran Franz Hasil from the regular eleven. In the UEFA Cup , he scored in each of Rotterdam's four games, in the match at US Rumelange , which ended 12-0, he scored three goals. In the league, he scored ten goals in 32 games and was one of the guarantees that Feijenoord qualified again for the UEFA Cup at the end of the season in second place behind Ajax .
The following season 1973/74, in which his former Nijmeger coach Coerver took over the reign of the club, which has now been renamed Feyenoord , was one of the most successful for the club - and the most successful for Theo de Jong. With 16 goals in the entire 34 league games, he played a major role in Feyenoord bringing the championship back to Rotterdam after three years. His goal for the 3-2 win over FC Twente on the penultimate matchday, which secured the title, is one of the ten most important goals in Feyenoord history. Also in the UEFA Cup competition he was on the field in all games and scored four goals, also here a very important goal with the 2-2 equalizer in the 85th minute of the first final game at White Hart Lane against Tottenham Hotspur , the laid the foundation for winning the UEFA Cup. Three weeks later, de Jong and six other Feyenoord players were in the Dutch squad at the World Cup in Germany.
De Jong stayed in Rotterdam until 1977 before joining Roda JC in Kerkrade . Here he also became one of the pillars of the team, but more than a fifth place in 1979 with Roda was not within the scope of the possible. In 1981 de Jong went to Hong Kong together with Gerrie Mühren , where he worked for Seiko Sports for two seasons ; here he played under the former bond coach George Knobel with Dick Nanninga and Arie Haan , among others .
In 1983 de Jong returned to the Netherlands and ended his active career with a season at FC Den Bosch . With the Eredivisie promoted he reached tenth place.

National team
Bondscoach František Fadrhonc became aware of the Frisian in his second season in Nijmegen. On February 16, 1972, he tested de Jong in a friendly, a 5-0 win in Greece , in the central midfield between Johan Neeskens and Wim van Hanegem . De Jong had to cancel his next international match due to injury, but after moving to Rotterdam he was back in the top eleven in August in Czechoslovakia . In the next Elftal match , the World Cup qualifier against Norway , the Bondscoach relied on de Jong, who thanked him with his first goal in Oranje in the 9-0 win in De Kuip . After another five missions, the new bond coach Rinus Michels appointed him to the squad for the World Cup in Germany . During the finals he remained a substitute player. In the group game against Bulgaria he scored the goal to make it 4-1; in the final against Germany he was substituted on for Wim Rijsbergen in the 68th minute of the game.
Under Michels' successor George Knobel , de Jong made the first three games after the World Cup; his last use in Orange was on October 9, 1974, in a friendly against Switzerland . Overall, he played 15 times for the national team and scored three goals.
Trainer
De Jong began his coaching career where he ended his playing career: at FC Den Bosch. In 1986 he took over the Eredivisie team from Rinus Israël , which he led to the semi-finals of the KNVB Cup and tenth place in the league in his first season . In the following two seasons, the team reached seventh place in the Eredivisie . In 1989, de Jong moved to the second division PEC Zwolle , which he could not lead out of the lower regions of the Eerste Divisie . The SC Cambuur in his hometown Leeuwarden was the next station of the coach de Jong. He succeeded Rob Baan , who had led the club from Friesland back to the Eredivisie for the first time in 28 years , but accepted an offer from FC Twente . De Jong held the class with Cambuur in 14th place, although the club had to give up top performers such as Nico-Jan Hoogma and Michael Mols - both of whom followed Baan to Enschede. With the rise of SC Heerenveen , two Frisian clubs were in the first division at the same time in the following 1993/94 season. De Jong came under pressure as a coach in the second season, however, Cambuur was despite reinforcements - including the young Jaap Stam - still without a point at the bottom of the table after five matchdays, and the Leeuwardener lost against Heerenveen. Obligations of other players such as Henny Meijer could not prevent de Jong's dismissal in October 1994: only two points were recorded from ten games. Fritz Korbach was his successor, but he could not save the team from relegation.
De Jong went to Willem II to Tilburg , where he served as assistant coach of Jan Reker worked. After his release he was head coach of Tilburg from March 1995 to March 1996, before he too had to vacate his seat earlier than planned. He moved to De Graafschap , where he worked as a scout and consultant. In the summer of 1999 he was with the Finnish second division team Tervarit from Oulu , which he led in the first division . At the end of 1999 de Jong's company Theo de Jong Scouting en Consultancy BV bought the majority of the association, which practically belongs to the brothers Theo and Dick de Jong. Several stations, some only for months, followed in the 2000s. In October 2001 he took over the position of head coach at the second division Go Ahead Eagles in Deventer . As assistant to Leo Beenhakker he was jointly responsible for the World Cup qualification of the national team of Trinidad and Tobago in 2005/06 , but was not officially allowed to travel to Germany with the team. As assistant coach to Arie Haan, he was with the national teams of China , Cameroon and Albania as well as with the Iranian club Persepolis Tehran , and later he signed a contract as assistant coach at Esteghlal Tehran . At Steel Azin FC , also in Tehran , he was head coach for half a year.
From the 2008/09 season he was under contract as a scout with Willem II, initially alongside his work as an assistant coach for the Albanian national team. In April he replaced Arno Pijpers , who did not inherit Mark Schenning or Alfons Groenendijk until February, after a bad sporting course , in order to stay up with Willem. In the end, they saved themselves through the relegation game and ensured they remained in the Eredivisie. In the summer, de Jong was replaced by Gert Heerkes .
