Joop Gall (born 25 December 1963) is a Dutch football manager and former player.

Playing career

Born in Hoogezand-Sappemeer, Groningen, Gall spent his entire career playing with three teams, all from the North of the Netherlands: BV Veendam, FC Groningen and SC Heerenveen. He retired in 1999 after a third spell with BV Veendam.

Coaching career

From 2001 to 2005 Gall served as assistant coach at FC Groningen. In 2005, he was appointed head coach of Eerste Divisie club BV Veendam, a position he left six years later in 2011 to take over at Go Ahead Eagles.[1] Gall was sacked by Go Ahead Eagles in March 2012, with the club in 11th place.[2] Since July 2012 Gall is the FC Emmen manager.

In April 2018, he was announced as caretaker manager of VV Pelikaan-S until the end of the season.[3] One year later, he was once again appointed as caretaker manager, this time for SV DFS.[4] In November 2019, Gall moved to China to work for a football academy in Zhengzhou,[5] but left the country during the COVID-19 outbreak.[6] He returned to China to become assistant to manager Jean-Paul van Gastel at Guangzhou City in January 2021, only to leave them for Indonesian side PSM Makassar later that year.[7]

In summer 2026, Gall took charge of amateur side PKC '83, leaving SC Stadskanaal because he could not combine coaching them with his work for the Achtkarspelen municipality.[8]
