New Ajax head coach Martin Jol
will be well known to English
football fans after managing

seasons.
He signed a three-year
contract with Ajax in May of
this year after a short stint
as Hamburg manager in the
Bundesliga.
Jol began his managerial
career at ADO Den Haag in
1991 whilst they were still in
the amateur leagues, before
joining another amateur
side, Scheveningen. Jol was
appointed manager of Roda
JC in 1996 where he stayed
for two seasons, winning the
KNVB Cup. He then joined RKC
Waalwijk before moving on to
Tottenham Hotspur in 2004.
He left Spurs in 2007 but was
soon back in management after
Hamburg came knocking for his
services. Jol led the Germans to
the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup,
but lost to Bundesliga rivals
Werder Bremen.
