René Hake (born 18 December 1971) is a Dutch professional football manager and former player who is the head coach of Eredivisie club Go Ahead Eagles

Playing career

Hake began his football career at SC Oranje in Schoonebeek, Drenthe, where he played in the first team at the age of 17. He later played in the A-juniors (youth team) at FC Emmen, but was unable to make the step up to the first team.[2] He then went on to study at the CIOS in Heerenveen, Friesland, an educational institution that provides vocational training in sports and physical education.[3]

Coaching career

Emmen and Twente

After completing his studies, Hake spent eleven years working in the youth department at FC Emmen before moving to the joined youth academy FC Twente/Heracles Almelo. At the academy, he served as head of youth development and coach of the under-19 team.[4] Hake was the coach of the under-19 team when they won the national championship and Super Cup for U19s in 2007. He also earned his coaching diploma during this period.[5]

In 2009, Hake was appointed head coach of the reserve team of FC Twente, succeeding Cees Lok.[6] He was later appointed for the position of head coach at FC Emmen, and signed a contract until 2014 with the club in on 11 October 2010.[7] Following his appointment, Emmen started achieving positive results, going nine games unbeaten after his debut as head coach.

PEC and return to Twente

Hake's contract with FC Emmen was terminated prematurely in April 2012, and he signed a two-year contract with PEC Zwolle as an assistant coach under Ron Jans in June of that year.[8] He extended his contract with the club for two more years in March 2014.[9]

In June 2015, Hake returned to Twente as an assistant coach, signing a three-year contract.[10] He became interim head coach of Twente on 30 August 2015, following the dismissal of Alfred Schreuder.[11] A month and a half later, he was appointed head coach permanently. Although the team struggled due to financial problems, they finished in the 13th position in the 2015–16 campaign. In the second season, the team improved under Hake's leadership and finished seventh in the Eredivisie. However, the team lost many games in the last part of the season, and Hake was dismissed as head coach when Twente began the 2017–18 season with six losses in their first eight games.[12]

Cambuur and Utrecht

On 31 January 2018, Hake was appointed as the new head coach of SC Cambuur, replacing assistant coaches Jan Bruin and Sipke Hulshoff and signing a one-and-a-half-year contract.[13] In March 2019, the club announced that they would not renew his contract.[14] He then signed a three-year contract with FC Utrecht to become head coach of their reserve team Jong FC Utrecht, which played in the Eerste Divisie.[15]

After the departure of head coach John van den Brom, Hake was given the opportunity to prove himself as the new head coach of Utrecht starting from 6 November 2020.[16] On 31 December 2020, it was announced that Hake had signed a one-and-a-half-year contract as head coach of Utrecht.[17] He was dismissed on 22 March 2022.[18]

Go Ahead Eagles

On 9 May 2022, it was announced that Hake would become the new head coach of Go Ahead Eagles from 1 July 2022, with him signing a three-year contract.[19]

Manager profile

Hake is known for his flexible tactical approach. He has experience in managing teams that play possession-based football, as well as teams that focus on quick transitions and counter-attacking.[20]

He has been compared to Erik ten Hag, with both managers having a focus on compact, defensive structures. They share the same football vision, which they learned while in the youth department of FC Twente.[21] The two also share a training principle that requires all players to be involved in both attacking and defensive play.[21]
