Thomas Jens Uwe Doll (born 9 April 1966) is a German professionalfootball manager and a formerfootball player. As a player, he played as an attacking midfielder forF.C. Hansa Rostock,BFC Dynamo,Hamburger SV,Lazio,Eintracht Frankfurt andBari.
Doll began playing football for the youth teams of local side BSG Lokomotiv Malchin. He was allowed to join the youth academy offootball clubF.C. Hansa Rostock in 1979. Doll joined the first team of F.C. Hansa Rostock in 1983. He made his debut for F.C. Hansa Rostock in theDDR-Oberliga away against BSG Stahl Riesa in the third matchday of the1983-84 DDR-Oberliga on 27 August 1983.
F.C. Hansa Rostock was relegated to the second tier DDR-Liga after the1985-86 DDR-Oberliga. Doll then joinedBFC Dynamo in order to ensure a chance to play for thenational team.[2] BFC Dynamo was the dominant team in East German football at the time. Doll had the opportunity to choose between BFC Dynamo andSG Dynamo Dresden, but wanted to go to Berlin to be able to stay close to his family and because he already knew players in BFC Dynamo from the national youth teams, such asAndreas Thom.[2]
Doll immediately became a regular player in the first team of BFC Dynamo. He scored his first goal for BFC Dynamo in the DDR-Oberliga in thederby against 1. FC Union Berlin at theStadion der Weltjugend on 13 September 1986. BFC Dynamo won the match with a massive 8–1.[3] Doll and Thom formed one of the most effective attacking constellations in East German football in the late 1980s.[4] Doll won the DDR-Oberliga in1987 and1988 and theFDGB-Pokal in1988 and1989 with BFC Dynamo. BFC Dynamo then met SG Dynamo Dresden in the first everDFV-Supercup on 5 August 1989. BFC Dynamo won the match 4-1 and became the first and only winner of the DFV-Supercup in the history of East German football. Doll scored two goals in the match.
Afterreunification, Doll was one of the most sought-after players of coming out of the former East Germany. Together with fellowsweeperFrank Rohde in BFC Dynamo he joinedHamburger SV in 1990. After just one season there he had impressed sufficiently to move to Italian sideLazio for a then record fee ofDM15 million. He played at Lazio for three years, before returning to theBundesliga in 1994, joiningEintracht Frankfurt, but he was hampered by injuries in the three seasons he spent with the club and made only 28 appearances.[5] After a year in Italy withBari, he returned to Hamburger SV in 1998. He played another three seasons, but injuries continued to take their toll.
At international level, Doll represented bothEast Germany (29 caps, seven goals) and the unifiedGermany (18 caps, 1 goal).[6] His last international appearance came in 1993. He was part of Germany's squad forEuro 1992 where the side finished as runners-up toDenmark.
Following his retirement, he became part of Hamburg's coaching staff, managing the reserves from 2002 until being appointed first-team manager in 2004.
Early in his tenure as coach with Hamburg, he enjoyed some success, saving the team from relegation in his first season, winning theIntertoto Cup, and then guiding the club to a much-improved third-place result in the 2005–06 season to earn aChampions League berth. The 2006–07 season, however, was less successful for the coach. The team delivered a disappointing performance in the Champions League that saw only one win in six first-round games, and then plunged to the bottom of the Bundesliga table by mid-season. Doll was sacked on 1 February 2007.
On 19 May 2008, Doll resigned as the coach ofBorussia Dortmund after the team finished a disappointing 13th in theBundesliga.[7][8]
He agreed to manageGençlerbirliği S.K. and signed a two-year contract.[9]
On 20 July 2011, he was appointed as head coach of Saudi Arabian champion team,Al-Hilal but was sacked on 22 January 2012.
He became head coach of Hungarian clubFerencváros on 18 December 2013.[10] On 20 May 2015, Ferencváros beatVideoton 4–0 at theGroupama Arena in the2014–15 Magyar Kupa Final.[11]
Doll's Ferencváros secured the club's 29thNemzeti Bajnokság I title on 2 April 2016 after a defeat at theNagyerdei Stadion againstDebreceni VSC. By winning the2015–16 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season, Doll managed to win all the possible titles in football in Hungary.[12]In recognition of his record performance with Ferencváros, Doll received the "Coach of the year in NB I" award from the Hungarian Football Federation in 2016.[13]
Ferencváros were eliminated in the second round of the2016–17 UEFA Champions League by the second-placed team of the2015-16 Albanian Superliga,FK Partizani Tirana, on penalties. They placed fourth in the2016–17 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season - the title was won by their rivalsBudapest Honvéd FC. However, Ferencváros fans were consoled by the team's win in the2017 Magyar Kupa Final againstVasas SC.
The2017–18 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season started with moderate success, but aspirations in international cups were once again thwarted when Ferencváros lost toFC Midtjylland in the second round of the2017–18 UEFA Europa League.
On 27 January 2019,Bundesliga clubHannover 96 announced Doll as the new manager of the club, replacing the sackedAndré Breitenreiter.[14] He left the club asMirko Slomka was confirmed as the club's new manager on 28 May 2019.[15]
On 15 August 2019, Doll became manager ofAPOEL.[16]
Having managed to guide APOEL to the round of 32 of the2019–20 UEFA Europa League, on 9 December 2019, Doll got relieved of his duties as the club's manager by mutual consent.[17]
On 23 April 2022,Liga 1 clubPersija Jakarta announced Doll as the new manager of the club in a three-year deal.[18][19] In his first season, he finished in second place.
Doll has two daughters, one with his Italian-born wife Roberta, the other with a former wife now married to another ex-footballer,Olaf Bodden. He lives inBudapest.[20]
In late January 2023, tension arose between Doll andShin Tae-yong, theIndonesia national football team head coach. Doll declined nine players' invitations to attend the national team training camp.[21] Additionally, Doll criticized Shin during a press conference, likening him to a clown for his involvement in television advertisements.[22]
