FC Den Haag — profile around the 1995/96 season

Club identity (brief)

• Official name: the club is widely known today as ADO Den Haag; the name FC Den Haag was also used in the club’s history around the late 20th century.
• Founded: early 20th century (club roots date to 1905, later histories reflect mergers and name changes common to the ADO/Den Haag lineage).
• Colours and nickname: the club traditionally wears yellow and green and is commonly associated with the city of The Hague.
• Stadium (historical): Zuiderparkstadion was the long-time home ground through the 1990s before later moves/renovations in the 2000s.

Context: mid-1990s

• During the 1990s ADO/FC Den Haag experienced sporting and financial ups and downs typical for many Dutch clubs outside the top tier; the club spent time in the Eerste Divisie (the second tier) in that era.
• Records from the period are available in Dutch football archives, contemporary newspapers and season databases for confirmation of league position, results and squad lists.

About “THEO VERLANGEN” as coach

• There are no widely available, verifiable records in major online historical databases (worldfootball.net, transfermarkt, national archives) that list a head coach named “Theo Verlangen” for FC Den Haag in the 1995/96 first-team role.
• Possible explanations include: a misspelling or variant of the name, a youth-team or interim role rather than permanent first-team manager, or that the name is not documented in the main public sources.
• To confirm the exact role of Theo Verlangen (if he was a coach at any level at the club that season) the most reliable primary sources are club archives, contemporary Dutch newspapers (especially local The Hague press), KNVB records, and matchday programs from 1995/96.

What can be reliably retrieved

• Season-level facts such as the competition (Eredivisie vs Eerste Divisie), final league position, cup results and official first-team squad can be verified from football-yearbooks, KNVB season records and established football databases.
• If you want exact match results, lineups, goal scorers or the official manager listed in the club’s annual report for 1995/96, those primary sources provide definitive confirmation.
