About this person
Born 8 November 1946, Hiddink spent his playing years as a midfielder in the Netherlands before hanging up his boots in 1982. Management followed, and the honours came quickly: a European Cup with PSV Eindhoven, an Intercontinental Cup with Real Madrid. But his reputation was built on the international stage, taking teams with modest histories deep into tournaments they had no business reaching. He became the manager countries called when they needed someone to pull a result out of thin air.
