Marinus Antonius Been (born 11 December 1963) is a Dutchfootballmanager and former professional player.
As a footballer, Been played forFeyenoord,Pisa,Roda JC,Heerenveen,Tirol Innsbruck andExcelsior. He played in anattacking midfield position and was nicknamed "Mariodona" for hisdribbling skills, afterDiego Maradona and his first name.
Born inRotterdam,South Holland, Been made his professional career debut forFeyenoord on 5 September 1982, in a 1–0 win overN.E.C. Been spent six years at Feyenoord from 1982 to 1988, before moving to Italian sidePisa in July 1988. During his time in Italy, the club played in Serie A (first) and Serie B (second). After three years in Italy, Been returned to Netherlands, where he joinedRoda JC and thenHeerenveen. After one season at Heerenveen, Been moved to Austria, joiningTirol Innsbruck in 1992. Following his stint at Tirol Innsbruck, he returned to Excelsior where he stayed for three years before announcing his retirement. Been played his last competitive match on 17 September 1995, whenHaarlem defeated Excelsior 4–0.
Been was a member of the Dutch squad at the1983 FIFA World Youth Championship[2] and played one official international match for theNetherlands, againstAustria on 14 November 1984 as substitute forTon Lokhoff in the 73rd minute.[3]
Been started his coaching career as assistant manager toBert van Marwijk atFeyenoord in 2000. He held this position until the summer of 2004 when Bert van Marwijk choose to leaveFeyenoord and head to Germany to manageBorussia Dortmund. Been headed across Rotterdam to join Feyenoord's sister clubExcelsior in 2005 and in his sole season in-charge of the club got them promoted from theEerste Divisie to theEredivisie. Along the way his team played attractive football and eventually finished seven points clear of second placedVVV Venlo.
After his successful promotion season with Excelsior, Been moved to become the assistant manager toLeo Beenhakker at Trinidad and Tobago for the2006 FIFA World Cup. After the World Cup, he left Trinidad and Tobago.
Been moved to NEC, taking over fromRon de Groot. De Groot resumed his original position as an assistant-coach. Been came with ambition to return the glory years back to the club. In his first season, in 2006–07, he led the club to a tenth-place finish in theEredivisie. With the signing of a few players during the summer of 2007, he molded a competitive and attractive team. However, the first half of the 2007–08 season did not go well for Been, as his side were sitting bottom of the league at the start of the new year. However, Been managed to remarkably change the fortunes of his team, as they went on a run which saw them eventually end eighth in the league standings. This earned the club a UEFA Cup Play-off berth against three other Dutch teams. Been got his team to play very attractive football, which resulted in plenty of goals. In the final play-off round againstNAC Breda, his side won 6–0 at home, and 1–0 away. For the first time, Been had qualified a team for European competition.
The season of 2008–09 would be the finest season to date for Been as professional manager. His side were drawn in a tough group in theUEFA Cup with away games atSpartak Moscow andDinamo Zagreb, whileTottenham Hotspur andUdinese would come toNijmegen. At the start of the European campaign, his side were labeled the whipping boys of the group. However, after two losses in the group (3–2 against Dinamo Zagreb and 1–0 against Tottenham Hotspur), NEC managed to beat Spartak Moscow in Russia with a scoreline of 2–1.Lasse Schöne scoring the all important goal in that match. The final and decisive game for Been would be against Udinese; on a wonderful night for the club, he managed to get the team to a 2–0 scoreline and secure progression to the next round. They eventually lost 4–0 on aggregate toHamburger SV in the following round, but Been had already written himself into the club's history. On 28 January 2009, NEC Nijmegen andFeyenoord had reached an agreement to let Been move to Rotterdam to become the head coach there for the next season. On the occasion of his final match as manager for NEC, Been was applauded by a fullGoffert Stadium, with fans singing his name and the players, board and fans giving him the honour of being one of the best managers the club has ever had. Been's farewell speech was filled with tears, however, his last words to the fans epitomized his legendary status at the club.
Been joined his boyhood clubFeyenoord in the summer of 2009 in the hope of repairing the financially stricken club. He was given a very youthful squad to work with, which did have some experienced heads in the form ofRoy Makaay,Denny Landzaat andGiovanni van Bronckhorst. His first signing was from his old club, where he signedDani Fernández for the right-back position. Been's first season for Feyenoord was immediately a success, as he led them to a fourth-place finish in the league and thus a place in theEuropa League for the 2010–11 season. This was also the club's highest finish for a few years. In a turbulent summer, which saw all his experienced heads retire, he signed only a handful of players on free transfers or on loan. Feyenoord started the campaign in mixed form. On the opening day, they beatUtrecht 3–1 to kick off a good start to the campaign. However, the club failed to qualify for the group stages of the Europa League, after they lost 2–1 toGent on aggregate.
Up until 2011, Been had a contract that ran until 2012 with the club. On 24 October 2010, he oversaw his team losing 10–0 againstPSV at thePhilips Stadion, the biggest defeat in the history of Feyenoord. Despite that, and a rather disappointing final outcome that saw Feyenoord failing to qualify for European football and even in danger of relegation at some point in the season, he was confirmed at the helm of Feyenoord for the new season.
On 13 July 2011, Been was confirmed to have left his post as head coach of Feyenoord, citing lack of trust and confidence from his players as the main reason for his surprise choice.[4]
In late August 2011, Been was appointed as a new manager ofGenk, signing a two-year deal with them and succeedingFranky Vercauteren, who left the club to join United Arab Emirates sideAl-Jazira (who led the club winning the Belgian League and 2011 Belgian Supercup and Vercauteren led his club into play-off for UEFA Champions League).[5] A day after being named the new Coach for Genk, Been held his first training session with the club on Wednesday 31 August.[6] Been would join-up withThomas Buffel at Genk, who coached Buffel from his time as assistant manager at Feyenoord.
His first match as a Genk manager was a win, with Genk beating their rivalSint-Truidense 4–3.[7] In the Champions League, Genk was placed fourth place in Group E and got three points with no win, three draws and three losses at the group stage of Champions League. Genk's first Champions League game againstValencia was a 0–0 draw, clinched their first Champions League point.[8]
On 9 May 2013, he won theBelgian Cup with Genk. On 23 February 2014, he was sacked.[9]
On 26 May 2017, Been was appointed as the new manager of the reigning Cypriot championsAPOEL, signing a one-year contract with the club.[10]
On 28 July 2017, after three competitive games in charge, Been was sacked by APOEL following a 1–0 away European defeat toViitorul Constanta.[11]
