Jol lands Hamburg post

Former Spurs boss lands Bundesliga job

Former Tottenham manager Martin Jol has been confirmed as Hamburg's new manager.

Dutch tactician Jol has replaced Huub Stevens at the Bundesliga outfit after signing a two-year contract.

Jol was sacked by Spurs in October last year following a disappointing start to the Premier League campaign.

The 52-year-old will be assisted by Zeljko Petrovic, the former coach of RKC Waalwijk, at the HSH Nordbank Arena.

Hamburg chairman Bernd Hoffmann was pleased to secure Jol, telling the club's official website: "We are certain that in Martin Jol we have appointed the right coach."

Good job for him.

I think hes a good manager, and was unfairly treated. His teams also play football the right way.

Fair play to Jol. I always liked him as a manager and felt he got a raw
deal at Spurs. I hope he does well in his new job.

hope he really does well at hamburg....but i dont think he will manage van der vaart as he seems to be on line for a move to a team!!!!

I liked his style of management, very direct and attractive. It was unfortunate that he didn't stay on at Tottenham, but Hamburg is a big role for him. Possibly the UEFA Cup next season also, so he can give that another shot .
