Henk ten Cate

Ten Cate started his football career at amateur side FC Rheden before signing his first professional contract at Go Ahead Eagles. He made his Eredivisie debut in the 1979–80 season and earned himself 27 appearances throughout the season in which he scored four goals. These performances earned him a transfer to NASL side Edmonton Drillers in Canada. After the North American season he returned to Go Ahead Eagles and continued his Eredivisie campaign. He became however unsure of his position and was sent on loan to Eerste Divisie side Telstar where he was one of their key players. After the season at Telstar he returned to Deventer and became a first team regular for Go Ahead Eagles again for three more seasons. In 1985, he switched to Heracles, where he ended his professional career as a player.

After his playing career, Ten Cate became an assistant manager of Fritz Korbach at Go Ahead Eagles, playing in the Eerste Divisie. When Korbach moved to Heerenveen in February 1990, Ten Cate took over as a manager. He managed to lead them to a play-off place at the end of the season, but Heerenveen were promoted to the Eredivisie on goal difference. Ten Cate left Go Ahead Eagles and returned to one of the other teams he was active at during his playing career, Heracles where he became the assistant of manager Henk van Brussel. When Van Brussel was unable to finish the season due to health problems, in November 1990 Ten Cate became the first team manager and led Heracles until 1992, when he was told his contract would not be extended. He moved to the club where his football career started, amateur side FC Rheden, and managed them for one year. In 1993, Go Ahead Eagles appointed Ten Cate yet again as their manager, this time to replace Jan Versleijen who left the club to manage De Graafschap. In his first year, he did well, but when Go Ahead Eagles was at the bottom of the Eerste Divisie during the winter break of the 1994–95 season, he was fired. Eredivisie side Sparta Rotterdam offered him a contract and he led the team to a sixth position in the Eredivisie in 1996; they also reached the final of the KNVB Cup that year, which they lost 5-2 to PSV Eindhoven. In the 1997–98 winter break, Ten Cate switched to manage Vitesse, which he led to their best Eredivisie ranking in…
