*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Jurjen Jacob (Jurrie) Koolhof (10 January 1960 – 28 January 2019)[1] was a Dutch international football striker and manager.

As a player, Koolhof had a long and productive career, with 190 league goals. He played for a number of clubs in the

F.C. Groningen, De Graafschap and PSV Eindhoven. For the latter he scored a total of 69 goals in 106 appearances and had an effective partnership with Norway's Hallvar Thoresen
in the mid-1980s.

Club career

He began his career at the local pride

Vitesse Arnhem in 1980, the same year they were relegated from the Eredivisie (first) to the Erste (second) Divisie. 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 1981/82 transfer window he signed a contract at PSV Eindhoven
, his first Eredivisie club.

His first years in the lichtstad (city of light) were successful. He adapted quickly to the top-tier professional level and, over two and a half years, missed few matches. However, in 1984 he suffered an injury that left him unable to play for two full years. In the 1986/87 season he returned to the pitch, although he never fully recovered. He played professional football for another seven years, mainly in the Eerste Divisie. After continuing to play on

Vitesse Arnhem and De Graafschap
he ended his career where it had once started, with BV Veendam.

National team career

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

He was

Euro 1984 qualifier against Spain, resulting in a 1–0 loss.[2]

Coaching career

After he quit playing

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]
After a few matches in the 2008–2009 season, Koolhof was sacked following a poor overall start to the season.

Personal life

Jurrie Koolhof was married and had two sons, football player Dean Koolhof and tennis pro Wesley Koolhof. He died after a long illness at 59 years.
