Jurjen Jacob (Jurrie) Koolhof (born 10 January 1960 in Beerta, Groningen)[1] is a former Dutch international football striker and current manager of Cambuur Leeuwarden.

As a player, Koolhof had a long and productive career, with 190 league goals. He played for a number of clubs in the Netherlands including Vitesse Arnhem, F.C. Groningen and PSV Eindhoven. For the latter he scored a total of 69 goals in 106 appearances and formed a great tandem with Norway's Hallvar Thoresen in the mid-eighties.

[edit] Club career

He began his career at the local pride BV Veendam, breaking into the first-team squad in 1978. He began scoring prolifically in the late 1980s, attracting a lot of attention. He was transferred to Vitesse in the new decade. In his second season in Arnhem he managed to score 19 goals in 16 appearances, an exceptional average of 1.2 goals per match. During the 1981/1982 transfer window he signed a contract at PSV Eindhoven, his first Eredivisie club.

His first years in the lichtstad (city of light) have been very successful. He adapted quickly to higher level and in two and a half years he missed only a few matches. Then, in 1984 he suffered a terrible injury. He was out for two full years. In season 1986/1987 he returned to the pitch but he never fully recovered. He played professional football for another seven years, mainly in the Eerste Divisie. After FC Groningen, again Vitesse and De Graafschap he ended his career where it had once started: BV Veendam.

[edit] National team career

He first played for the Netherlands on 14 August 1982 against Greece. After 46 minutes of football he replaced Piet Wildschut. At the time there weren't any goals scored, but a goal by Edo Ophof in 54th minute would cause Oranje to win the game.

He was capped only 5 times, scoring zero goals. As a result he did not enjoy a long international career: he played his last international match on 16 February 1983, just over 9 months later (in the Euro 84 qualifier against Spain, 1-0 loss).[2]

[edit] Coaching career

After he quit playing Doetinchem became his new domicile. He acted alternately as head of the youth academy and manager of De Graafschap from 1994 to 2002. He was Hennie Spijkerman's assistant for one season at FC Emmen. In the following years he was employed at AGOVV Apeldoorn, FC Dordrecht and MVV as manager. Koolhof was fired from his job on 19 February 2007 due to disappointing results, strikingly on the same day Cambuur Leeuwarden let go their trainer Roy Wesseling.On 15 March the 47-year-old Koolhof signed a two-year contract at SC Cambuur-Leeuwarden taking effect 1 July 2007. Gerrie Schouwenaar, who acted as interim manager, departed for Qatar. His spot was taken by Alfons Arts, who became Koolhof's assistant manager as well as a youth trainer.[3][4][5] In his first year his team surprised everyone by defeating AZ Alkmaar in the Cup (1-0).[6]

[edit] Personal life

Jurrie Koolhof is married to Monique and has two sons, Wesley (b. 1989) and Dean (b. 1994). He still lives in Beerta, where he was born.[7]
