As a coach he managed to get the small-sized team of Fortuna Sittard into the KNVB Cup final in 1998. In 2002 he led Feyenoord to win the UEFA Cup. In July 2004 he became manager of Borussia Dortmund. 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.[1] However on 18 December, Dortmund and Van Marwijk parted company earlier than announced.

In June 2007 he returned to Feyenoord with the aim of re-establishing the club to the heights of Dutch football. Before the end of the 2007–08 season it was announced van Marwijk would succeed Marco van Basten as head coach of the Netherlands national football team. He will succeed van Basten after Euro 2008.
