International
editHe was part of theDutch teamfor the1978 FIFA World Cup,making one substitute appearance againstScotland.[1]He also won the1970 Intercontinental Cupwith Feyenoord.
Coaching career
editLater, Boskamp became a manager, and coachedBelgianclubsLierse,Dender,Beveren,Kortrijk,AnderlechtandGent.He then moved toGeorgiain 1999 to manageDinamo Tbilisi,as well as theGeorgia national team.After a return to Belgium withGenk,he moved to the Middle East and managed theUnited Arab EmiratessideAl Wasl,and theKuwaiticlubKazma.[2]
He became manager of English sideStoke Cityfor the2005–06season.[3][4]Stoke's Icelandic board wanted the club to start mounting a serious attempt at gaining promotion to thePremier League,and so decided a change in style was required, with Boskamp replacingTony Pulis.He brought in a number of foreign players, which includedCarl Hoefkens,Hannes Sigurðsson,Junior N'GalulaandMartin Kolář,as well as domestically-based players such asMarlon Broomes,Paul Gallagher,Mamady Sidibe,Peter SweeneyandLuke Chadwick.He also broke the club record transfer fee with a £950,000 signing ofStandard LiègestrikerSambégou Bangoura.However, results were often poor, and after a number of heavy home defeats toWatford,Wolverhampton WanderersandCardiff City,supporters began asking questions. Bangoura then went on a good run of form scoring seven goals in six matches, as Stoke won six matches in November and December to give them a platform to build on going into the new year.[4]But, in one of those wins away atCoventry City,Boskamp and his assistantJan de Koningand director of footballJohn Rudgewere involved in an argument, which led to Boskamp almost resigning.[4][5]
Stoke began 2006 in terrible form, winning just one match in ten, and scoring a mere six goals in that time.[4]Bangoura had been away on international duty with Guinea, and failed to return to the club at the agreed date, which caused the shortage of goals; with Stoke's season fizzling out, with no chance of promotion, Boskamp was not offered a new contract byGunnar Gíslason.[6]With the Icelandic board failing to gain promotion to thePremier League,and with debts now at around £5 million, chairmanGunnar Gíslasonput the club up for sale, and he sold the club back to former chairmanPeter Coates.[7][8]Coates then re-appointedTony Pulisas manager, who had spent the season withPlymouth Argyle.[9]
Boskamp was then briefly manager atStandard Liègein 2006.[10]In November 2007, he became coach of anotherBelgianclub:Dender.On 19 May 2009, he quitDenderafter an argument with his coaching assistant Patrick Asselman, who was subsequently named as his replacement.[11]
In June 2009, Boskamp signed withBeveren,[12]but was sacked in December 2009 after poor results.[13]
In June 2024, Boskamp put an end to his career as an analyst and Standaard Uitgeverij published in collaboration with Boskamp's partner the autobiographyBoskamp - Mijn leven(Boskamp - My Life).
