Aad de Mos
Adriaan "Aad" de Mos (born 27 March 1947) is a Dutch retired professional football manager whose career spanned for almost thirty years.
He has managed teams in his home country, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Greece, as well managing the United Arab Emirates national team. De Mos's biggest success was winning the 1987–88 European Cup Winners' Cup as manager of Belgian club Mechelen.
De Mos was born in The Hague, Netherlands on 27 March 1947. He played in the youth team of local club ADO Den Haag. he began his managing as an assistant to Leo Beenhakker at Ajax, and continued to do so while Kurt Linder was manager.
After Linder left, de Mos replaced him as Ajax manager in 1982, and retained the role until he was dismissed shortly before the end of the 1984–1985 season. With Ajax de Mos won the national championship twice and the cup once.
After leaving Ajax, de Mos became coach of Mechelen in Belgium. There he won the national title, cup and, in 1988, the European Cup Winners' Cup, beating his former club Ajax 1–0 in the final. He also won the 1988 European Super Cup with the club.
De Mos left Mechelen after three years to become Anderlecht manager, where he again reached the 1990 European Cup Winners' Cup Final, this time losing to Sampdoria in Gothenburg.
In 1993, after his successful stints with Mechelen and Anderlecht, de Mos came back to the Netherlands and became the new manager of PSV Eindhoven, faced with the task of cleaning up an aging team. In his first season, PSV placed third in the league.
In his second season, despite some major purchases, PSV and de Mos did not perform well. In September 1994, he positioned the centre forward Erik Meijer, known for being able to make good headers, for incomprehensible reasons as a back against Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
