Jan Poortvliet (born 21 September 1955 in Arnemuiden, Zeeland) is a retired football defender from the Netherlands, who represented his native country at the 1978 FIFA World Cup in Argentina, wearing the number two jersey. His biggest club successes came when he played for PSV Eindhoven in the mid- and late 1970s. After his retirement in the early 1990s he became a football manager, who worked for clubs like F.C. Den Bosch, RBC Roosendaal and Stormvogels Telstar.

On 29 May 2008, he was announced as the new Head Coach of English Football League Championship side Southampton as an immediate replacement to Nigel Pearson, with Mark Wotte taking over the Academy. But within days it emerged that Poortvliet was still employed by his previous Club Helmond Sport who hadnt given him any permission to talk to Southampton. Poortvliet was offering to pay compensation to Helmond where he still had one year on his contract. But his offer of 30,000 Euros was taken as a insult by Helmond. The situation will probably get resolved via arbitration with the Dutch FA. [1]
