Theo Bos (5 October 1965 - 28 February 2013) was a Dutch footballer and coach.

Playing career

Bos spent his entire playing career for Vitesse Arnhem from the city of Arnhem, making a total 369 appearances in 14 seasons with his club. He is therefore considered to be Mister Vitesse.^[1]

Coaching career

Theo Bos served as manager of FC Den Bosch from 2005 to 2009. Later in 2009, it was confirmed he would make a comeback at Vitesse, this time as a head coach. He was removed from his managerial duties in October 2010 by new club owner, Georgian businessman Merab Jordania.^[2]

On January 2011 Bos was hired by Polish Polonia Warszawa's boss Józef Wojciechowski as a first team manager.^[3] He was sacked in March 2011, after a 0-1 loss against Zaglebie Lubin.

He served as head coach of Dutch Eerste Divisie club FC Dordrecht in the 2011–12 season, replacing Henny Lee who opted to leave the club in order to join FC Utrecht in the Eredivisie league.^[4] In January 2012 he was forced to take indefinite leave of absence after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer; his place as head coach was temporarily taken by assistant Virgil Breetveld on an interim basis.^[5] After the end of the season it seemed like Bos would return to being in charge of the team; however, on 14 July 2012, it was announced that he had been forced to take indefinite sick leave due to his health conditions.^[6]

Personal life

Death

Bos died on 28 February 2013 of pancreatic cancer, aged forty-seven.^[7] Following his death, a special remembrance to honour Theo Bos took place at Gelredome with around 7,000 Vitesse supporters. Bos was survived by his wife Marieke and their daughter as well as two children from a previous marriage.^[8] Vitesse retired his shirt number 4 from use in his honour.^[9]
