Template:Short description Template:Redirect Template:Use dmy dates Template:Good article Template:Infobox football biography
Jerrel Floyd "Jimmy" Hasselbaink (Template:IPAc-en Template:Respell; born 27 March 1972) is a Dutch professional football manager and former player.
Born in Suriname, he and his family would later move to the Dutch city of Zaandam where he first played football, initially as a goalkeeper, later transitioning to the role of a right winger and finally a forward. He began his senior career with Telstar and AZ Alkmaar before leaving the Netherlands for Portuguese club Campomaiorense in August 1995. He joined Boavista the following year and won the Taça de Portugal with the club in 1997. He was signed by English side Leeds United for a £2 million fee before the 1997–98 season, where he established himself as a prolific goalscorer and went on to win the Premier League Golden Boot award in 1999. He was sold on to Spanish club Atlético Madrid for £10 million the same year, reaching the final of the Copa del Rey despite the club also suffering relegation from La Liga.
Hasselbaink returned to the Premier League with Chelsea for a club record £15 million fee in May 2000, where he once again led the league in scoring during his first season, earning him a second Premier League Golden Boot. He also played in the 2002 FA Cup Final and helped Chelsea to a career-high and then club-record second-place Premier League finish in 2003–04. He moved to Middlesbrough on a free transfer in July 2004 and played in the final of the UEFA Cup in 2006. After being released at the end of the previous season, he signed with Charlton Athletic in July 2006 before joining Cardiff City in August 2007. He played on the losing side in the 2008 FA Cup Final before retiring from play at the end of the season. He also scored nine goals in 23 matches during a four-year international career for the Netherlands national team, appearing at the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
In May 2013, he was appointed manager of Royal Antwerp in the Belgian Second Division, where he stayed for one season. In November 2014, he was hired by Burton Albion in England, and in his first season, he led them to their first-ever promotion to League One as champions of League Two. In December 2015, he was appointed manager of Queens Park Rangers in the Championship. He lasted 11 months in the job until he was dismissed in November 2016. From September 2017 to April 2018, he managed League One club Northampton Town. On New Year's Day 2021, he returned to Burton Albion as manager for a second spell, remaining until he resigned in September 2022.
Club careerEdit
NetherlandsEdit
Hasselbaink was born on 27 March 1972 in Paramaribo, Suriname (then part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands),<ref name="PFA 274"/> to Frank Ware and Cornelli Hasselbaink; he was the youngest of six children.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> At the age of three in 1975, Hasselbaink was run over by a moped, which broke his right leg.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> In October 1978, his mother took him and three siblings to live in Zaandam, Netherlands; his father remained in Suriname and rarely contacted the family.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> The next year Hasselbaink began playing youth football for Gestaagt Volharding Overwint (GVO), initially as a goalkeeper.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> He later played for Zaansche Football club (ZFC) and Zaanlandia as a right winger.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> He joined a street gang as a teenager and spent three months in a youth detention facility for stealing.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> After his release, he joined the youth team at DWS, but he was dismissed from the club for stealing the watch of a first-team player.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> He began his senior career with Telstar, while still a gang member, and had disciplinary issues at the club due to his persistent lateness.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> He made his Eerste Divisie debut on 27 October 1990, in a 2–0 defeat at VVV-Venlo.<ref name="page 44">Template:Harvnb</ref> Head coach Niels Overweg dismissed him after he turned up late to a match.<ref name="page 44"/>
He began training with AZ Alkmaar, where his brother Carlos was playing and impressed enough to win a professional contract.<ref name="page 44"/> However, Head coach Henk Wullems opted not to renew his contract in 1993, despite Hasselbaink making 46 appearances for the club.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> He had an unsuccessful trial with FC Eindhoven, and after failing to agree terms with PEC Zwolle he instead spent the 1993–94 season training with HFC Haarlem.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> He then played amateur football for Neerlandia whilst he looked abroad for a professional contract, spending time in Austria with Admira Wacker.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref>
PortugalEdit
Hasselbaink signed for newly promoted Portuguese Primeira Divisão side Campomaiorense in August 1995 after impressing trainer Manuel Fernandes on a trial.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> The chairman wanted to keep his signing a secret and so told the press that he had signed a player called "Jimmy", but after his signing was revealed the name stuck and he was known as Jimmy rather than Jerrel for the rest of his career.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> He failed to score in his first four games and missed a penalty in his fifth game after insisting on taking the penalty ahead of regular taker Stanimir Stoilov, however, he made amends for the miss later in the game by scoring both goals in a 2–0 win over Gil Vicente.<ref name="page 59"/> The small club could not survive in the top flight and were relegated in the 1995–96 season.<ref name="page 59">Template:Harvnb</ref>
Hasselbaink was signed by Boavista for a €300,000 fee in summer 1996.<ref name="page 59"/> The 1996–97 season was chaotic for the club, as the chairman dismissed two managers, Zoran Filipović and João Alves, before ending the campaign with Rui Casaca.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> As a result, the "Panthers" only managed a seventh-place finish, but they ended the campaign on a high note by winning the Taça de Portugal. Hasselbaink had a good season individually, finishing as the league's second-highest scorer behind Porto's Mário Jardel.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> He scored his first professional hat-trick at the club in a 3–1 victory over Marítimo at the Estádio do Bessa; he later scored a hat-trick in a 7–0 win over Gil Vicente, as did teammate Nuno Gomes.<ref name="page 71">Template:Harvnb</ref> Though head coach Casaca left Hasselbaink on the bench due to his arranged transfer to Leeds, Hasselbaink entered the final of the Taça de Portugal as a late substitute for Erwin Sánchez as Boavista held on to a 3–2 win over Benfica.<ref name="page 71"/>
Leeds UnitedEdit
Leeds United manager George Graham signed Hasselbaink in the summer of 1997 for a fee of £2 million.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> He scored on his Premier League debut in a 1–1 draw with Arsenal at Elland Road on 9 August, though initially he struggled to adapt to the pace of the English game.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> He scored only five league goals before Christmas but ended the campaign with 26 goals in all competitions following a strong second half of the season.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref>
The following season, Hasselbaink's 18 goals in 36 appearances made him joint-winner (with Michael Owen and Dwight Yorke) of the Premier League Golden Boot as Leeds finished fourth in the league under the stewardship of new manager David O'Leary, thus winning the "Whites" a place in the UEFA Cup.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> However, he and his agent were dissatisfied with the contract offered by the club, and though he still had two years to run on his existing deal he was sold on.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> O'Leary claimed: "What he is looking for I don't think any club in the country could afford and I don't think there is anyone on that kind of money over here [in England]".<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Atlético MadridEdit
Hasselbaink was bought by Spanish club Atlético Madrid for £10 million in the middle of 1999.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> The "Red-and-Whites" lost the first three La Liga games of the 1999–2000 season, but after Hasselbaink scored his first goal for the club to secure a point at Real Zaragoza he continued to score important goals for the club.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> On 30 October, he scored twice in the Madrid Derby as Atlético beat Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium for the first time in nine years.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> He also scored against Barcelona at Camp Nou, in a 2–1 league defeat.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> Manager Claudio Ranieri aimed to qualify for the Champions League but resigned in February following poor results.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> Despite this, Hasselbaink shared the league's Silver Boot award with Catanha (Málaga CF), scoring only three goals fewer than top-scorer Salva Ballesta (Racing de Santander).<ref name="page 141">Template:Harvnb</ref> Atlético reached the final of the Copa del Rey at the Mestalla Stadium but lost 2–1 to Espanyol; Hasselbaink scored a late consolation goal. The club's league form did not improve following Ranieri's departure, and his successor Radomir Antić failed to prevent the club from being relegated to the Segunda División. A relegation clause in his four-year contract allowed Hasselbaink to leave the club in the summer.<ref name="page 141"/>
ChelseaEdit
Hasselbaink returned to the Premier League in May 2000, when he was signed by Chelsea for a club record fee of £15 million, which matched the then-transfer record for an English club; he signed a four-year contract.<ref name=chelsea>Template:Cite news</ref> He scored on his "Blues" debut, helping them to win the 2000 FA Charity Shield with a 2–0 win over Manchester United at Wembley Stadium.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Manager Gianluca Vialli was dismissed in September, and Hasselbaink's former Madrid boss Claudio Ranieri was appointed as his replacement.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> Hasselbaink later stated he was "dismayed" at Vialli's dismissal and that the players hated Ranieri and fitness coach Roberto Sassi's running-focused training methods.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> Despite this, Hasselbaink scored 23 goals in 35 league appearances in the 2000–01 season, including four goals in a 6–1 win against Coventry City on 21 October;<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> he finished the season as the winner of the Premier League Golden Boot.
At the start of the 2001–02 season, Hasselbaink earned the distinction of scoring the first competitive goal at Southampton's new St Mary's Stadium as Chelsea won 2–0 on 25 August.<ref>Template:Cite newsTemplate:Cbignore</ref> On 13 March, he scored a hat-trick as Chelsea defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4–0.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> He formed both a good friendship and a productive partnership with Icelandic striker Eiður Guðjohnsen, scoring 29 goals in all competitions whilst Guðjohnsen scored 23 goals in a season which also saw Chelsea reach the FA Cup final after overcoming Norwich City, West Ham United, Preston North End, Tottenham Hotspur, and Fulham.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> Hasselbaink was a doubt for the final due to a hamstring injury, and was substituted on 68 minutes at the Millennium Stadium as Chelsea lost 2–0 to rivals Arsenal.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> His total of 23 league goals was one fewer than Golden Boot winner Thierry Henry.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref>
In the summer of 2002, the cause of his hamstring injury was discovered, and he underwent an operation to relieve a blockage in the arteries of his right leg, which had been severely restricting circulation.<ref name="page 182">Template:Harvnb</ref> During his recovery, he appeared as a pundit for ITV's coverage of the 2002 FIFA World Cup.<ref name="page 182"/> Ranieri initiated a squad rotation system for the 2002–03 season but focused the team around Gianfranco Zola, which limited Hasselbaink's playing time.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> Barcelona manager Louis van Gaal agreed an £8 million transfer for Hasselbaink in the January transfer window after months of negotiations but was dismissed before the transfer went through and the deal subsequently collapsed.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Though the attack was focused on Zola throughout the season, Hasselbaink managed to score 15 goals in 44 games, only one goal fewer than Zola.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
In the 2003–04 season, he scored 17 goals in all competitions, which, despite the arrival of new strikers Adrian Mutu and Hernán Crespo, made him top-scorer at the club for the third time in four years. On 27 March, his 32nd birthday, Hasselbaink came on as a 60th-minute substitute for Geremi and scored a hat-trick as Chelsea came from behind to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 5–2 at Stamford Bridge.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Chelsea finished the season in second place and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League; Hasselbaink played in both legs of the semi-final defeat to Monaco, as Chelsea lost 5–3 on aggregate.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
MiddlesbroughEdit
In July 2004, Hasselbaink turned down approaches from Fulham, Celtic and Rangers and instead joined Middlesbrough on a two-year contract after a free transfer.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Due to several other internationals being signed by the club at the time, he predicted that Middlesbrough could qualify for the Champions League.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On 14 August, he scored on his debut for the club in a 2–2 draw with Newcastle United at the Riverside Stadium.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> In the 2004–05 season he finished as the club's top-scorer with 13 goals in 36 Premier League games, including a hat-trick in a 4–0 win over Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on 16 October.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> A seventh-place league finish was enough for the club to qualify for the following year's UEFA Cup.
In the 2005–06 season, he scored nine goals in 22 league games and eight in 22 cup appearances. He helped Steve McClaren's "Boro" to defeat Xanthi (Greece), Grasshoppers (Switzerland), Dnipro (Ukraine), Litex (Bulgaria), VfB Stuttgart (Germany), Roma (Italy), Basel (Switzerland) and Steaua București (Romania) en route to the UEFA Cup final. In the final, Middlesbrough were beaten 4–0 by Spanish club Sevilla at the Philips Stadion.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The cup final proved to be Hasselbaink's last appearance for the club, as new manager Gareth Southgate decided to release him in July 2006.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Charlton AthleticEdit
After a potential move to Celtic of the Scottish Premier League broke down,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Hasselbaink joined his fourth Premier League team, Charlton Athletic, on a free transfer in July 2006.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Soon after joining the club, he was charged by the FA with improper conduct and/or bringing the game into disrepute for his claiming Chelsea paid players a bonus after the 2004 Champions League win over Arsenal; a Premier League inquiry into what would have been illegal bonus payments found no evidence to support the claims, which were denied by Chelsea.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> He scored his first goal for the "Addicks" against his old team Chelsea in a 2–1 defeat at Stamford Bridge on 9 September.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> After seven games without a goal, Hasselbaink scored against yet another of his former clubs, Middlesbrough, on 13 January, a game which Middlesbrough went on to win 3–1.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> He was released by Charlton at the end of the 2006–07 season having scored only four goals in 29 games, with half of his goal tally coming against League One side Chesterfield in the League Cup.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Cardiff CityEdit
Hasselbaink was on the verge of joining Championship side Leicester City in August 2007, but the club later withdrew their offer.<ref>"Hasselbaink baffled by Foxes snub". BBC Sport. 14 August 2007. Retrieved 5 September 2007.</ref> Instead Cardiff City chairman Peter Ridsdale, who worked with Hasselbaink at Leeds United, brought him to Cardiff on a one-year deal, putting him in a veteran strike partnership with Robbie Fowler.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Manager Dave Jones said that Hasselbaink initially took time to settle and become match fit but despite being a demanding player his professionalism was ultimately a positive influence.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On 19 September, Hasselbaink scored his first goal for Cardiff with a 20-yard low drive in the 2–1 league defeat to Watford at Ninian Park.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> He was nominated for the Player of the Round in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup after scoring an impressive goal against Wolverhampton Wanderers.<ref>"Hasselbaink gets an FA nomination".

In the final Cardiff lost 1–0 to Portsmouth; Hasselbaink played 70 minutes before being substituted for Steve Thompson.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> As the season finished he entered talks to extend his stay at Cardiff; however, he left the club in July 2008 following a dispute over pay.<ref>Template:Cite newsTemplate:Cbignore</ref>
International careerEdit
Hasselbaink came to the attention of Netherlands manager Guus Hiddink whilst playing in England for Leeds United and made his international debut on 27 May 1998 in a 0–0 draw in a friendly with Cameroon at the GelreDome in Arnhem; he came on as a 61st-minute substitute for Marc Overmars. On 1 June, he scored his first goal in a 5–1 friendly victory over Paraguay, and a few days later scored his second goal in another 5–1 friendly victory over Nigeria.<ref name="page 104">Template:Harvnb</ref> He was part of the Dutch squad for the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France, as back-up to established international strikers Patrick Kluivert, Dennis Bergkamp and Pierre van Hooijdonk and wingers Boudewijn Zenden and Marc Overmars.<ref name="page 104"/> With other strikers not fully fit, Hasselbaink started the opening game against Belgium at the Stade de France, but missed a scoring opportunity in the 0–0 draw and was taken off for Bergkamp after 65 minutes.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> Kluivert was sent off in the match, but Bergkamp was played as the only striker in the next game against South Korea, and van Hooijdonk was taken off the bench to replace him.<ref name="page 106">Template:Harvnb</ref> In the third group game against Mexico at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard Hasselbaink came on for Bergkamp after 78 minutes, which was to be his last appearance at the tournament as Kluivert returned from suspension to leave Hasselbaink as Hiddink's fourth choice forward; Netherlands ended the tournament in fourth place.<ref name="page 106"/>
Hiddink resigned and was replaced by his assistant Frank Rijkaard, who rarely picked Hasselbaink at international level. Hasselbaink next played on 18 August 1999, alongside Kluivert and Ruud van Nistelrooy in a friendly against Denmark; he was taken off for Clarence Seedorf, and the game ended 0–0.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> He next appeared six months later, playing ten minutes against Germany and 70 minutes against Scotland, and despite van Nistelrooy being injured Hasselbaink was not selected for UEFA Euro 2000 as the five forwards chosen were Bergkamp, Kluivert, van Hooijdonk, Roy Makaay and Peter van Vossen.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> He had been part of the 25 man initial squad but, along with André Ooijer and Winston Bogarde, was not chosen for the final 22.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref>
Louis van Gaal rated Hasselbaink more highly than Rijkaard, meaning more chances at international level when van Gaal took over as manager in July 2000. Hasselbaink scored against Spain in a 2–1 win at the Estadio de La Cartuja on 15 November 2000 but both he and Spanish captain Fernando Hierro were sent off for fighting late in the game.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> On 24 March 2001, he scored in a 5–0 win over Andorra at the Mini Estadi, and four days later converted a penalty in a draw with Portugal at the Estádio das Antas.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> On 25 April he scored in his third successive World Cup qualifying game, in a 4–0 win over Cyprus at the Philips Stadion. He later played against Estonia (twice), England, the Republic of Ireland and Denmark; he scored a penalty past Denmark in a 1–1 draw at Parken Stadium.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Netherlands did not qualify for the 2002 FIFA World Cup as they finished four points behind Portugal and Ireland.
Dick Advocaat replaced van Gaal as national team manager in January 2002, and Hasselbaink remained in contention. On 21 August, he came on as a substitute in a 1–0 win over Norway at the Ullevaal Stadion, and on 7 September he scored in a 3–0 victory over Belarus, the opening game for Euro 2004 qualifying; this was his last appearance for Netherlands.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> Hasselbaink did not make the squad for the Euro 2004 finals but was on the stand-by list for the tournament.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Style of playEdit
Hasselbaink was a quick sprinter and had a powerful shot. He was able to shoot with his left foot despite being primarily right-footed.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> Tom Sheen, sports reporter for The Independent and a Chelsea supporter, wrote that "[Hasselbaink] possessed one of the best strikes ever seen at Stamford Bridge, was an expert free-kick taker, great with both feet and decent in the air".<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Coaching careerEdit
In October 2009, Hasselbaink trained with Conference South side Woking to help keep himself fit and do some coaching.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> He then worked with Chelsea's under-16 squad and coached at the Nike Academy while taking his UEFA 'B' and 'A' licences.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> From July 2011 to January 2013 he was a member of the coaching staff at Nottingham Forest, leaving the club when manager Sean O'Driscoll was dismissed.<ref name="shuffle">"Backroom Reshuffle".

Shortly afterwards, Port Vale chairman Norman Smurthwaite revealed that he had rejected Hasselbaink for the vacant managerial position at his club in 2014, out of fear that racist elements of their support would abuse him.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
On 28 September 2016, Hasselbaink was named and shown in The Daily Telegraph's sting operation involving exposing football management personalities engaging in improper conduct.
