Early coaching record

Jol's coaching career began in the Netherlands in 1991 when he took over at the amateur side ADO Den Haag and took them from the Third Division to the First Division. Jol then moved to Scheveningen for one season where he won the national non-league championship. Jol then spent two years at Roda JC during which time he won the Dutch cup (Roda's first trophy for 30 years). Between 1998 and 2004 Jol managed the Dutch professional team RKC Waalwijk where he saved them from relegation and was honoured as the Dutch Football Writers Coach of the Year in 2001 and Dutch Players and Coaches Coach of the Year in 2002.

Tottenham Hotspur

RKC Waalwijk denied reports in June 2004 that Jol was about to become assistant manager of Tottenham Hotspur.^[3] However, several days later, Jol was given the job under Tottenham's new coach Jacques Santini.^[4] When Santini left the job after just over a dozen games Jol was first made caretaker manager and then later confirmed as head coach.^[5] In his first season in charge Jol improved their league fortunes and scrapped the defensive nature of play that Santini had instilled. He won the FA Manager of the Month award in December 2004 and was strongly linked in the press with the then vacant managerial job at Ajax of Amsterdam, however Jol ruled out moving clubs early. In August 2005 he signed a new three-year contract with Tottenham.^[6] Jol led Tottenham to the verge of European qualification but the season ended with a 9th place finish in the Premier League after a final day draw at home to Blackburn Rovers. This meant Spurs missed out on the UEFA Cup spot by two points. RKC Waalwijk is a football club playing in the Dutch Eredivisie. ...

The 2005-06 season marked an improvement in the league, but there was no Cup success this season with the exception of the pre-season tournament the Peace Cup which featured PSV Eindhoven, Lyon, Boca Juniors and others with Tottenham defeating Lyon in the final. During the season Tottenham never once dropped out of the top 6 places in the league and Jol eventually took Spurs to 5th in the league qualifying them for the UEFA Cup via the league for the first time since the Premier League was formed. However, the season is remembered more for narrowly missing out on a Champions League place on the final day of the season after the team were forced to play despite the majority of the squad suffering from illness.

The 2006-07 season saw Jol end Tottenham's lengthy hoodoo against Chelsea with a win, the first against them since 1990. Although away form was poor in the first half the season, a run of form consisting of just two away losses in the last five months of the season helped Tottenham to a second successive fifth place finish.

In the summer of 2007, Jol signed a number of expensive players spending around £40 million, and expectations were that Tottenham would compete for a top four finish. After a poor start to the 2007-08 season, it was speculated that Jol would be replaced by Sevilla manager Juande Ramos, though this was denied by Tottenham's chairman Daniel Levy.^[7] Jol was sacked by the Tottenham board on 25 October 2007 before their 2–1 loss to Getafe in the UEFA Cup.^[8] The 2007-2008 season will be the 128th season of competitive football in England. ...
