Jan Jongbloed
From the beginning of 1988 he was an assistant coach at Vitesse, in which the first major success followed in 1989; trainer Bert Jacobs became champion of the Eerste Divisie. The following year, fourth place in the Eredivisie was reached with European football as a reward. In between, the club also reached the cup final, in which PSV was too strong. In the years that followed, Vitesse always finished in the top six and participated in the UEFA Cup nine times. In October 1999 he did the honors for the dismissed Herbert Neumann together with Edward Sturing. Jongbloed did the same with Frans Thijssen four years earlier, after Ronald Spelbos had to leave. Since 2000 he has been active as a youth coach at the Arnhem club. In 2010 it became clear that his contract with Vitesse would not be extended. The Zaanse amateur association Hellas Sport then appointed Jongbloed as a technical advisor. Jongbloed was last active as a youth trainer at ZVV Zilvermeeuwen, also from Zaandam.
