Jack B. van den Berg (born 7 February 1959) is a Dutch football manager and a former player. While coaching ASWH, he won the 2005 national amateur championship and the 2006 Rinus Michels Award for managers in nonprofessional leagues. [1] During a long stint at BVV Barendrecht Van den Berg became a full-time coach. [2] In 2015–2016 he coached the first squads of two small town rivals, [2] promoting both ASWH to the Saturday Derde Divisie and IFC to the Sunday Hoofdklasse. [3] From February until October 2018 he coached VV Katwijk, winning a Tweede Divisie championship. [4] [5]
Jack van den Berg was born in Kralingen, Rotterdam. He started playing at SV Lombardijen. [6] He then played on youth teams of Feyenoord Rotterdam.
Throughout the 1980s, Van den Berg played for Zwart-Wit '28. [7] [8] During Van den Berg's year in Zwart-Wit's top team, he played mostly in the Eerste Klasse, with a few years in the Tweede Klasse.
Eventually Van den Berg moved to Barendrecht, where he played for the local BVV. He then returned to Zwart-Wit, achieving a total number of caps (first and second run) of 137 in leagues, 22 cup games, and 144 friendly games. [9] He finished his football player career at SC Feyenoord as the team captain. [6] [10]
Van den Berg started coaching Feyenoord Rotterdam youth teams in the summer of 1991 and continued until the summer of 1996.
In his first major coaching assignment, Van den Berg coached Zwart-Wit '28 in Hoofdklasse A. [11] In 2000 the team ended 13th and relegated to Eerste Klasse B. [11]
During the subsequent season, Jack van den Berg coached VV SHO from Oud-Beijerland. [12] Exactly like Zwart-Wit a year before, the team ended the competition in Hoofdklasse A in place 13 and relegated to Eerste Klasse B. [12]
Van den Berg again remained in the Hoofdklasse, where he took on coaching Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht-side ASWH. In the 2001–2002 season, he led the team to their second consecutive championship in the Hoofdklasse, and their first championship in Hoofdklasse A. Right above Hoofdklasse at that time was professional football so the costs of promotion were prohibitive for a small town team. In 2003 and 2004 his team ended third and eighth respectively.
In 2005 Van den Berg won once more the championship of Hoofdklasse A with ASWH. ASWH went on to win the Dutch Championship Saturday Soccer and the Dutch Championship Amateur Soccer. In 2006 Van den Berg led his players to the second place. That year he was selected as "coach of the year" among all coaches of Dutch amateurs teams, a prize that is also known as the Rinus Michels Award, after already being nominated for the prize one year before. [1]
From 2006 to 2015 Van den Berg trained BVV Barendrecht, where he had previous played (his other soccer club, Zwart-Wit '28, folded in 2004). Van den Berg started his nine years at BVV with a championship in Eerste Klasse 1B, leading the Barendrecht-side back to Hoofdklasse, from where it had relegated two years earlier.
In 2010, Van den Berg led BVV to the championship of Hoofdklasse A, promoting Barendrecht for the first time to the Topklasse. Towards the end of his years at BVV Barendrecht, he started coaching IFC alongside BVV. [2] Coaching two teams, that played and trained at different days, allowed Van den Berg to commit henceforth all his time to soccer. [2]
Since 2015, Jack van den Berg coached ASWH again instead of BVV, [13] promoting ASWH 1 right away, in the season 2015–2016, to the Derde Divisie. [3] That very same season he promoted the next door soccer club and small town rival, IFC, to the Hoofdklasse. [3]
In the fall of 2016, ASWH is consistently in the top-5 tier of the Derde Divisie. [14] In the Cup, ASWH beat Chevremont, RVVH, De Treffers, and SV Spakenburg. [15] [16] [17] In October 2016 Van den Berg's contract with ASWH was extended until 2019. [18] In December that year he signed to coach PSV Poortugaal alongside ASWH, instead of IFC. [19] [20]
In February 2018 Van den Berg was appointed trainer of Tweede Klasse-side VV Katwijk, replacing Dick Schreuder who had joined the technical staff at Philadelphia Union in January. [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] ASWH released Van den Berg from the remainder of his contract to pursue this opportunity. [26] [27]
In his first game at Katwijk, Van den Berg's team was beaten 1–0 by GVVV in Veenendaal. [28] In April, the team manager of first squad, Sander Molenaar, died. [29] The conclusion of the season, however, was sweet: a championship with Katwijk in Van den Berg's first season coaching Tweede Klasse. [29] The championship was dedicated to Molenaar. [29] There was no promotion (nor relegation) that season between Eerste and Tweede Divisie. [29]
Early October 2018 Van den Berg left Katwijk after the club ranked fifth in the competition. [30] [31] He was replaced by Jan Zoutman, who won the Rinus Michels Award a year before Van den Berg. [32] In November 2018 Van den Berg said he already refused a new team and that he considers his options carefully. [33] Meanwhile, Katwijk kept paying his salary.
On 13 December 2018, Van den Berg's signed with BVV Barendrecht. [34] He took on the challenge to keep Barendrecht in the Tweede Divisie. [35] Van den Berg started coaching his former team on 2 January 2019. On 21 April 2019, he managed to gain a point against the champion and his former trainees at VV Katwijk. [36] BVV relegated to the Derde Divisie.
In 2019–20 Van den Berg is back at coaching IFC that managed to remain in the Hoofdklasse under Robert Verbeek. [37] By the time the competition was broken off, IFC had reached the third position from where it would have qualified for the playoff for Derde Divisie.
Barendrecht had a slow start in the fall of 2019. In December 2019 it was decided that Van den Berg's contract would not be extended. [38] By the end of January 2019, BVV ascended to 6th position, with Van den Berg still coaching. When the COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands broke out and the league was stopped, BVV was ranked 7th in de Derde Divisie.
In May 2020 Van den Berg was reportedly considered as the next manager for Feyenoord U21. [39] [40] [41] He wasn't selected. [42] In the end, he signed for technical coordinator of Barendrecht's other club, VV Smitshoek, leading the youth teams and second squad. [43] [44] [45] In 2021 he finished his second run at IFC as the club could no longer afford him.
Jack's father, Bas, was a Dutch football referee. [6] Jack's mother died when she was 50 years old. [6] Bas van den Berg died on 18 January 2020. [46]
With his wife Marianne they are parents to 2 children. [6]

Jack van den Berg is vanaf komend seizoen de nieuwe trainer van ASWH. De huidige coach van topklasser Barendrecht volgt bij de hoofdklasser uit Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht oud-voetballer Michel Langerak op. [...] Van den Berg maakte in 2005 juist de overstap van ASWH naar Barendrecht en is momenteel bezig aan zijn negende seizoen op sportpark De Bongerd, waar hij de club onder zijn leiding naar het hoogste amateurniveau van Nederland leidde. De 55-jarige oefenmeester tekent voor twee seizoenen bij ASWH.
Op 17 augustus versloeg de ploeg van trainer Jack van den Berg de Limburgse zondaghoofdklasser Chevremont met 1-0, een ruime week later was de club uit Zuid-Holland met 2-0 te sterk voor de Ridderkerkse zaterdaghoofdklasser RVVH.
Vlak voor tijd verdampte een 2-0 voorsprong, maar in de verlenging kreeg de formatie van Jack van den Berg Spakenburg toch op de knieën: 2-3.
Jack van den Berg heeft zijn contract bij ASWH verlengd. [...] In 2015 tekende hij al voor twee jaar en daar is nu dus een verlenging bovenop gekomen. Zo blijft de Barendrechter tot 2019 op Sportpark Schildman.
Jack van den Berg zal het trainerschap van derdedivisionist ASWH volgend seizoen combineren met dat van PSV Poortugaal.
Met ingang van het seizoen 2017–2018 wordt Jack van den Berg de nieuwe trainer van PSV Poortugaal
Jack van den Berg is per direct aangesteld als hoofdcoach van Katwijk. De 59-jarige trainer had nog een doorlopend contract bij ASWH, maar de derdedivisieclub gunt hem een overstap naar de koploper van de tweede divisie. Hij tekent bij Katwijk een verbintenis voor anderhalf jaar.
Jack van den Berg is per direct de nieuwe trainer van vv Katwijk. Dat meldt de koploper van de Tweede Divisie maandagavond. Van den Berg komt over van ASWH en tekent voor anderhalf jaar. Hij volgt Dick Schreuder op die naar Philadelphia Union FC vertrok.

Het huwelijk tussen Katwijk en trainer Jack van den Berg (59) is al binnen acht maanden beëindigd. De regerend kampioen van de tweede divisie heeft donderdag afscheid van hem genomen. [...] Afgelopen zaterdag verloor Katwijk van Excelsior Maassluis op eigen veld (2-4) en zakte het naar de vijfde plaats op de ranglijst
Na de teleurstellende nederlaag van afgelopen zaterdag kwamen er diverse gespre[k]ken op gang. Hieruit bleek dat er te weinig synergie is/was tussen Jack en de spelersgroep. Op basis van deze gesprekken is besloten dat het beter is om de samenwerking te beëindigen. [...] De Rotterdammer is als hoofdtrainer in totaal 7 keer kampioen geworden. Met ASWH behaalde Van den Berg de algehele amateurtitel.
Katwijk heeft de opvolger gevonden van Jack van den Berg. Jan Zoutman begint aankomende maandag als de nieuwe trainer van de nummer vier van de Tweede Divisie. De 49-jarige inwoner van Velserbroek tekent tot het einde van het seizoen. Van den Berg stapte begin oktober op bij de amateurkampioen van 2018. Volgens de Rotterdammer was hij nooit echt gelukkig in Katwijk en ontbrak de klik met de spelersgroep.
Met een vijfmans defensie, een verdedigend blok op het middenveld kort daarvoor en snelheid voorin moest Barendrecht een resultaat halen tegen Katwijk. Door de hoge nood waarin de Rijnmond-club zich bevindt, was niemand bezig met het mogelijk pikante weerzien tussen Jack van den Berg en Katwijk. Eind september stapte de oefenmeester op bij de regerend kampioen. 'Geen chemie', luidde de uitleg vanuit de club. De boekjes met tactische plannen uit zijn periode bij Katwijk had van den Berg wel nog ergens bewaard, het spel van Barendrecht deed namelijk enorm denken aan dat van Katwijk op 26 mei van het afgelopen jaar.
