Giovanni Christiaan van Bronckhorst (born 5 February 1975) is a Dutch football manager and former player who last managed the Turkish Süper Lig club Beşiktaş. Formerly a midfielder, he moved to left-back later in his career.[3][4]
During his club career, Van Bronckhorst played for RKC Waalwijk, Feyenoord, Rangers, Arsenal, Barcelona and again with Feyenoord. He was an instrumental player in Barcelona's 2005–06 UEFA Champions League victory, being in the starting line-up of the final, having played every Champions League match for Barcelona that season.[3]
After assisting the Dutch under-21 team and Feyenoord, Van Bronckhorst became Feyenoord manager in May 2015. He won the KNVB Cup in his first season and the club's first Eredivisie title for 18 years in 2017. In November 2021, he returned to Rangers as manager, reaching the Europa Leaguefinal and winning the Scottish Cup in his first season. In June 2024, he signed a deal with Beşiktaş and won the 2024 Turkish Super Cup in his first official match.
Club career
Early career
Van Bronckhorst began playing for a local amateur youth team in Rotterdam, Linker Maas Oever, from age six. He joined the youth academy at Feyenoord the following year.[5] In 1990, aged 15, the club offered him a professional contract, which he accepted.[5] He won the Dutch Youth League with Feyenoord in 1991, but struggled to break into the first team.[6] He was loaned out to RKC Waalwijk, making his league debut in 1993. He returned to Feyenoord for the 1994–95 season, but was used as a fringe player, making only ten appearances for the club.[6] 1995–96 was his breakthrough season, as he started almost every match for Feyenoord, playing alongside the likes of Regi Blinker, Jean-Paul van Gastel and Henrik Larsson.[6]
Domestically, with Feyenoord failing to break the PSV–Ajax stranglehold on the Eredivisie for the fourth-straight year, and major players such as Henrik Larsson leaving the team, Van Bronckhorst began to search for a new club.[7] He chose to join Dick Advocaat (his former manager at international U-16 and U-18 level) at Rangers, joining the club in 1998 for a reported transfer fee between £5–5.5 million.[8]
One of his goals was in the 2000 Scottish Cup Final which Rangers won 4–0 against Aberdeen. Opposition goalkeeper Jim Leighton was injured in the third minute without a substitute available, and striker Robbie Winters had to take his position.[11] He was shortlisted for SPFA Player of the Year in 2000.[12] He injured his groin on international duty that October,[13] and returned on 3 March 2001 against Heart of Midlothian, playing for just 23 minutes of the 2–0 home win before being injured by Colin Cameron.[14]
Arsenal
Arsène Wenger had signed Van Bronckhorst in June 2001 for £8 million.[15][16]
He sought to replace the midfield void from by the departure of Emmanuel Petit from Arsenal, and so partnered Patrick Vieira in the centre.[17] However, Van Bronckhorst's start at Highbury was marked by a cruciate knee ligament injury which saw him sidelined after only a few months at the club. Despite this, Van Bronckhorst went on to win the Premier League title in 2001–02, and the FA Cup in 2001–02 and 2002–03 with Arsenal. In all, he made 64 appearances for the Gunners, scoring twice.[3][4][18]
Barcelona
As the 2003–04 season approached, Van Bronckhorst had the opportunity to move to Barcelona and work with its new head coach Frank Rijkaard on a one-year loan, with a view to a permanent transfer.[19]
After adapting to his new role as a left-back, he helped Barça to a revival in the second half of the season. In May 2004, Van Bronckhorst completed his move from Arsenal to Barcelona for a fee of €2 million, signing a three-year deal.[20] He won the Liga title in the 2004–05 season after some of his finest displays together with four goals to his credit. In 2005–06, he helped his club repeat as Liga champions while winning the 2005–06 UEFA Champions League as well (he was the only player who participated in all Champions League matches that season). In Spain, he used "Gio" as the name on his shirt.[21]
Return to Feyenoord
Van Bronckhorst had a year remaining on his Barcelona contract in 2007, but returned to Feyenoord on 27 June 2007 due to a clause in his contract stipulating he could join Feyenoord on a free transfer.[21] Shortly after, head coach Bert van Marwijk made him captain of the club. He would go on to become a pivotal member of the squad, providing stability in an injury-hit side. At the end of his first season, he led "De Stadionclub" to win the 2007–08 KNVB Cup following a 2–0 victory in the final against Roda JC.[22]
International career
Early years
Van Bronckhorst made his debut for the national Olympic team in 1996, although the Netherlands failed to qualify for the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.[6] He was given his first full international cap in August 1996, being given a starting place by Guus Hiddink in the Oranje lineup to face Brazil in a friendly at the Amsterdam Arena.[7] Van Bronckhorst scored his first goal for Ons Oranje in August 1996 at the FNB Stadium against South Africa. He was part of the Netherlands squad for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, but did not play during the tournament.[7] He only saw limited action in Euro 2000 on home soil, as cover for left-back Arthur Numan.
Euro 2004 and 2006 World Cup
Van Bronckhorst (who was regularly played as a midfielder at club level at the time) was deployed by manager Dick Advocaat as a left-back at Euro 2004. The Netherlands reached the semi-finals of the tournament, only to fall to hosts Portugal.
Van Bronckhorst was a regular in the national team for the 2006 World Cup qualification campaign. In the round of 16 match against Portugal (see Battle of Nuremberg), he received a red card in a match that saw four red cards given, a World Cup record.[23]
Euro 2008
Van Bronckhorst scored in a Euro 2008 qualifying match against Slovenia on 28 March 2007. The Netherlands went on to win the match by 1–0.[24]
On 9 June 2008, in a group match against Italy, he cleared the ball off his own line, ran deep into the Italian half, then delivered a cross to Dirk Kuyt. Kuyt then headed down to Wesley Sneijder who slotted the ball past the advancing Gianluigi Buffon. Van Bronckhorst later scored another goal to condemn the then World Cup champions to a 3–0 defeat.[25]
Prior to Euro 2008, captain Edwin van der Sar announced his intention to retire from international football after the tournament; he played his last match as captain in the 3–1 quarter-final loss to Russia. Van Bronckhorst was named Van der Sar's replacement as captain.[26]
2010 World Cup
Van Bronckhorst was included in the Netherlands' preliminary squad for the tournament,[27] and on 27 May 2010, Dutch manager Bert van Marwijk announced he would be part of the final squad of 23 and would serve as team captain.[28] In the semi-final against Uruguay, he scored the opening goal of a 3–2 win. The powerful long-range strike – which rose into goalkeeper Fernando Muslera's top left-hand corner – was widely considered one of the best goals in World Cup history.[29][30] In November 2022, FIFA included this goal in its list of the 22 best goals.[31]
Van Bronckhorst's final match for the Netherlands and as a professional footballer came in the World Cup final against Spain.[32] He was substituted in the 105th minute for Edson Braafheid with the score 0–0, only for Andrés Iniesta to condemn the Dutch to a defeat, scoring the only goal of the match in the 116th minute. After ending the tournament as runners-up, Van Bronckhorst stated he was proud of what the team had achieved.[33]
Managerial career
Feyenoord
Having retired at the end of the 2009–10 season prior to the 2010 World Cup, it was announced on 21 July 2011 that Van Bronckhorst would assist newly appointed Feyenoord manager Ronald Koeman, alongside fellow ex-Feyenoord player Jean-Paul van Gastel.[34] Feyenoord finished the season second behind Ajax, thereby qualifying for the 2012–13 UEFA Champions League.[35] On 23 March 2015, it was announced Van Bronckhorst would be the new manager of Feyenoord after Fred Rutten would leave at the end of that season.[36]
On his managerial debut on 8 August 2015, Van Bronckhorst won 3–2 at home to Utrecht, with the winning penalty coming from Dirk Kuyt, who had been brought back after nine years abroad.[37] In his first full season, Van Bronckhorst led Feyenoord to win the 2015–16 KNVB Cup after the club defeated Utrecht 2–1 in the final.[38] In his second season, Van Bronckhorst won the Eredivisie title, Feyenoord's first in 18 years.[39]
On 18 November 2021, Van Bronckhorst was appointed manager of Rangers, 20 years after leaving as a player. He replaced Steven Gerrard, who had moved to Aston Villa.[46] On his Rangers managerial debut, he won 2–0 at home to Sparta Prague in the UEFA Europa League group stage;[47] on his Scottish Premiership debut on 28 November, he won 3–1 at Livingston.[48] A run of seven consecutive league wins from his debut ended with a 1–1 draw at Aberdeen on 18 January 2022,[49] and a series of ten unbeaten league games under his management ended on 2 February with a 3–0 loss at Celtic, ceding first place to the rivals.[50]
On 5 June 2024, Van Bronckhorst became the head coach of Turkish side Beşiktaş, by signing a two-year deal with an option for another one-year extension.[56] Following the team's defeat by Israeli team Maccabi Tel-Aviv at the Europa League he was sacked on 30 November 2024.[57][58]
Personal life
Van Bronckhorst was born in Rotterdam to Victor van Bronckhorst, an Indonesian-Dutch father, and Fransien Sapulette, an Indonesian mother of Moluccan descent.[5]
Van Bronckhorst and his wife Marieke have two sons.[59] Giovanni and Marieke founded the Giovanni van Bronckhorst Foundation (GvB Foundation) in 2008. Based in Rotterdam, the Foundation aims to enable disadvantaged children transitioning from primary to secondary school to develop basic life skills to overcome personal and social barriers by encouraging participation in sports.[60][61]
