description: "A defender who scored like a striker: over 250 goals from the back line, including the free kick that won Barcelona the 1992 European Cup. Koeman turned sweeper into a launching position, making him one of the rare center backs remembered as much for what he created going forward as what he stopped."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Zaandam in 1963, Koeman came through Groningen before joining Ajax in 1983, winning the Eredivisie in 1984–85. He moved to PSV in 1986 and collected three straight league titles plus the 1988 European Cup — the same year he won Euro 1988 with the Netherlands alongside van Basten, Gullit, and Rijkaard, becoming one of five players to win a treble and international cup in one season. In 1989 Barcelona brought him into Johan Cruyff's "Dream Team," where he anchored four consecutive La Liga titles from 1991 to 1994 and scored the winning goal in the 1992 European Cup final against Sampdoria. He captained the Netherlands at the 1994 World Cup before retiring and moving into management, winning Eredivisie titles with Ajax twice and PSV once, plus the Copa del Rey with Valencia in 2008. After a brief, turbulent stint at Barcelona that ended in October 2021, he returned to manage the Netherlands national team in 2023.
