Bert van Marwijk OON (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈbɛrt vɑn ˈmɑrʋɛik]; born 19 May 1952 in Deventer, Overijssel) is the coach of the Netherlands national football team. He also played for Go Ahead Eagles, AZ, MVV, Fortuna Sittard, and other clubs, as well as for the Dutch national team. In 1982, he began his transition into coaching, retiring as a player in 1988 and becoming a full time coach. In 2002, he won the UEFA Cup with Feyenoord. He is also the father-in-law of AC Milan and Netherlands midfielder Mark van Bommel.^[2]

Career

Playing

As a forward and a midfielder he played 393 matches in the Dutch highest division (Eredivisie). In 1975, he was called up by Rinus Michels to play for the Netherlands national football team in a friendly match against Yugoslavia, which was his only cap. He played for Go Ahead Eagles, AZ'67, MVV Maastricht and Fortuna Sittard.

Coaching

The World Cup finalist coach had a humble beginning in coaching starting with the small team of Fortuna Sittard into the KNVB Cup final in 1999. In 2002 he led Feyenoord to win the UEFA Cup. In July 2004 he became manager of Borussia Dortmund and was succeeded, at Feyenoord, by Ruud Gullit. In December 2006, after two and a half seasons of stagnation in the middle of the Bundesliga table, the club and Van Marwijk announced they would part ways at the end of the 2006–07 season.^[3] However on 18 December, Dortmund and Van Marwijk parted company earlier than announced, and he was replaced by Jürgen Röber.

In June 2007 he returned to Feyenoord with the aim of re-establishing the club to the heights of Dutch football. Following on this aim he brought back a favourite son of Feyenoord, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, and also acquired Tim de Cler, Kevin Hofland and Roy Makaay. His return would be a successful one with Feyenoord winning the 2008 KNVB Cup. It would however prove to be a short lived return, before the end of the 2007–08 season it was announced Van Marwijk would succeed Marco van Basten as head coach of the Dutch national team after Euro 2008. During his two spells as coach of Feyenoord, five seasons in total, they would finish second once in the Eredivise 2000–01. Van Marwijk was succeed at Feyenoord by Gertjan Verbeek.

His management staff as the Dutch national coach includes former internationals Ernest Faber and Phillip Cocu, as well as Dick Voorn.^[4]

In the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Van Marwijk led the Dutch national team in to the finals against Spain after defeating Slovakia in the round of 16, Brazil in the quarter-finals and Uruguay in the semi-finals. They lost 1-0 in extra time.

On 8 December 2011 Van Marwijk extended his contract with the Dutch FA, KNVB, with 4 more years until the summer of 2016, in including the 2014 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2016 tournaments.^[5]
