Dwight Lodeweges (born 26 October 1957) is a Canadian–born Dutch football coach and former professional player. He is currently one of the assistant managers of the Netherlands national team. In 2020, after Ronald Koeman left to join Barcelona, he was appointed as caretaker manager for two matches. On 29 June 2021, Frank de Boer resigned as coach and Lodeweges again took over on an interim basis until a new head coach was appointed.
