About José van Hoof

Born 1952. José van Hoof is a Dutch association football player and association football coach.

José van Hoof (born 22 August 1952) is a retired Dutch footballer who played as a striker for PSV in the 1970s. She was referred to as the female Johan Cruyff. In 1971 she was part of the Dutch team that played the first FIFA, but not the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB), recognised international women's match ever. In 1973, she was the only player left over from that '71 team, who played in the first KNVB sanctioned game versus England.

Career Van Hoof began playing football at the Bavos club in Bakel, Netherlands, where she remained for five years, after which she played with Braakhuizen Geldrop for ten years. She briefly trained the third team of NWC Asten, then moved to RKVV Keldonk, where she left early as head coach in her first season. In the summer of 2011, she switched to the second team of Bavos. In her first and only season in Bakel, she became champion of the 4th class reserve. The contract was not renewed. Van Hoof would then work for the women of SC 't Zand, but this collaboration ended before the season had started. During the 2012–13 season, she was in charge of the RKSV Princess Irene. She was also briefly the assistant coach for PSV / FC Eindhoven in the Women's BeNe League.
