Thomas Jens Uwe Doll (born 9 April 1966) is a German professional football manager and a former football player. As a player, he played as an attacking midfielder for F.C. Hansa Rostock, BFC Dynamo, Hamburger SV, Lazio, Eintracht Frankfurt and Bari.
Club career
Doll began playing football for the youth teams of local side BSG Lokomotiv Malchin. He was allowed to join the youth academy of football club F.C. Hansa Rostock in 1979. Doll joined the first team of F.C. Hansa Rostock in 1983. He made his debut for F.C. Hansa Rostock in the DDR-Oberliga away against BSG Stahl Riesa in the third matchday of the 1983-84 DDR-Oberliga on 27 August 1983.
F.C. Hansa Rostock was relegated to the second tier DDR-Liga after the 1985-86 DDR-Oberliga. Doll then joined BFC Dynamo in order to ensure a chance to play for the national team.{{cite news|last=Gartenschläger|first=Lars|date=14 January 2016|title=50 Jahre BFC Dynamo: "Das ganze Stadion brüllte. Doll, du Schwein" |url=https://www.welt.de/sport/fussball/article151013335/Das-ganze-Stadion-bruellte-Doll-du-Schwein.html|language=de|newspaper=Die Welt|location=Berlin|publisher=WeltN24 GmbH|access-date=9 May 2022 }} BFC Dynamo was the dominant team in East German football at the time. Doll had the opportunity to choose between BFC Dynamo and SG Dynamo Dresden, but wanted to go to Berlin to be able to stay close to his family and because he already knew players in BFC Dynamo from the national youth teams, such as Andreas Thom.
Doll immediately became a regular player in the first team of BFC Dynamo. He scored his first goal for BFC Dynamo in the DDR-Oberliga in the derby against 1. FC Union Berlin at the Stadion der Weltjugend on 13 September 1986. BFC Dynamo won the match with a massive 8–1.{{cite magazine|last=Thiemann|first=Klaus|date=16 September 1986|title="Zwillinge" eröffneten den Regien|url=https://www.fcc-supporters.org/fuwo/files/FUWO%201986/FUWO%201986%2037.pdf |magazine=Die neue Fußballwoche|language=de|location=Berlin|publisher=DFV der DDR|volume=1986|issue=37|page=4|issn=0323-8407|access-date=8 June 2022}} Doll and Thom formed one of the most effective attacking constellations in East German football in the late 1980s.{{cite news|last1=Rosentritt|first1=Michael|last2=Schmidt-Tychsen|first2=Ingo|date=6 May 2006|title=Die BFC-Schule |url=https://www.tagesspiegel.de/sport/die-bfc-schule/708474.html |language=de|work=Der Tagesspiegel|location=Berlin |publisher=Verlag Der Tagesspiegel GmbH|access-date=9 May 2022}} Doll won the DDR-Oberliga in 1987 and 1988 and the FDGB-Pokal in 1988 and 1989 with BFC Dynamo. BFC Dynamo then met SG Dynamo Dresden in the first ever DFV-Supercup on 5 August 1989. BFC Dynamo won the match 4-1 and became the first and only winner of the DFV-Supercup in the history of East German football. Doll scored two goals in the match.
After reunification, Doll was one of the most sought-after players of coming out of the former East Germany. Together with fellow sweeper Frank Rohde in BFC Dynamo he joined Hamburger SV in 1990. After just one season there he had impressed sufficiently to move to Italian side Lazio for a then record fee of DM15 million. He played at Lazio for three years, before returning to the Bundesliga in 1994, joining Eintracht Frankfurt, but he was hampered by injuries in the three seasons he spent with the club and made only 28 appearances.{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/players/dolldata.html|title=Thomas Doll – Matches and Goals in Oberliga|first=Matthias|last=Arnhold|date=4 June 2015|access-date=11 June 2015|website=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation}} After a year in Italy with Bari, he returned to Hamburger SV in 1998. He played another three seasons, but injuries continued to take their toll.
International career
At international level, Doll represented both East Germany (29 caps, seven goals) and the unified Germany (18 caps, 1 goal).{{cite web | url = https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/doll-intlg.html | title = Thomas Doll – Goals in International matches | first = Matthias | last = Arnhold | date = 4 June 2015 | access-date = 11 June 2015 | website = Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation}} His last international appearance came in 1993. He was part of Germany's squad for Euro 1992 where the side finished as runners-up to Denmark.
Coaching career
=Hamburger SV=
Following his retirement, he became part of Hamburg's coaching staff, managing the reserves from 2002 until being appointed first-team manager in 2004.
Early in his tenure as coach with Hamburg, he enjoyed some success, saving the team from relegation in his first season, winning the Intertoto Cup, and then guiding the club to a much-improved third-place result in the 2005–06 season to earn a Champions League berth. The 2006–07 season, however, was less successful for the coach. The team delivered a disappointing performance in the Champions League that saw only one win in six first-round games, and then plunged to the bottom of the Bundesliga table by mid-season. Doll was sacked on 1 February 2007.
=Borussia Dortmund=
On 19 May 2008, Doll resigned as the coach of Borussia Dortmund after the team finished a disappointing 13th in the Bundesliga.{{cite web | url = http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11881/3585890/doll-quits-dortmund | title = Doll quits Dortmund | website = Sky Sports | date = 19 May 2008 | access-date = 8 January 2016 | first = Chris | last = Ives}}{{cite web | url = http://www.goal.com/en/news/15/german-football/2008/05/19/702491/doll-quits-dortmund | title = Doll Quits Dortmund | website = goal.com | date = 19 May 2008 | access-date = 8 January 2016}}
=Gençlerbirliği=
=Al-Hilal=
On 20 July 2011, he was appointed as head coach of Saudi Arabian champion team, Al-Hilal but was sacked on 22 January 2012.
=Ferencváros=

He became head coach of Hungarian club Ferencváros on 18 December 2013.{{cite magazine | url = https://www.kicker.de/thomas-doll-trainiert-nun-ferencvaros-596789/artikel | title = Thomas Doll trainiert nun Ferencvaros | language = de | magazine = Kicker | date = 17 December 2013 | access-date = 18 December 2013}} On 20 May 2015, Ferencváros beat Videoton 4–0 at the Groupama Arena in the 2014–15 Magyar Kupa Final.{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=hun/news/newsid=2249959.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150731075234/http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=hun/news/newsid=2249959.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=31 July 2015|title=Ferencváros thump Videoton to end cup drought|date=20 May 2015|publisher=UEFA}}
Doll's Ferencváros secured the club's 29th Nemzeti Bajnokság I title on 2 April 2016 after a defeat at the Nagyerdei Stadion against Debreceni VSC. By winning the 2015–16 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season, Doll managed to win all the possible titles in football in Hungary.{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/news/newsid=2348538.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160406093658/http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/news/newsid=2348538.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=6 April 2016|title=Ferencváros crowned Hungarian champions|date=2 April 2016|publisher=UEFA | access-date = 5 April 2016 | first = Matthew | last = Watson-Broughton}}
In recognition of his record performance with Ferencváros, Doll received the "Coach of the year in NB I" award from the Hungarian Football Federation in 2016.{{cite web|url=http://www.fradi.hu/en/football/first-team/news/on-all-fields/20160502/c/13439 |title= On all fields| date = 2 May 2016 | access-date = 3 May 2016 }}
Ferencváros were eliminated in the second round of the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League by the second-placed team of the 2015-16 Albanian Superliga, FK Partizani Tirana, on penalties. They placed fourth in the 2016–17 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season - the title was won by their rivals Budapest Honvéd FC. However, Ferencváros fans were consoled by the team's win in the 2017 Magyar Kupa Final against Vasas SC.
The 2017–18 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season started with moderate success, but aspirations in international cups were once again thwarted when Ferencváros lost to FC Midtjylland in the second round of the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League.
=Hannover 96=
On 27 January 2019, Bundesliga club Hannover 96 announced Doll as the new manager of the club, replacing the sacked André Breitenreiter.{{cite news |url=https://www.kicker.de/thomas-doll-uebernimmt-bei-hannover-96-741044/artikel |title=Doll übernimmt bei Hannover 96 |trans-title=Doll takes over at Hannover 96 |website=Kicker |date=27 January 2019 |access-date=27 January 2019 |language=de}} He left the club as Mirko Slomka was confirmed as the club's new manager on 28 May 2019.{{cite web | url = https://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/mirko-slomka-returns-coach-relegated-hannover/ | title = Mirko Slomka returns to coach relegated Hannover | website = sportsnet.ca | date = 28 May 2019 | access-date = 2 July 2019 }}

Controversy
In late January 2023, tension arose between Doll and Shin Tae-yong, the Indonesia national football team head coach. Doll declined nine players' invitations to attend the national team training camp.{{cite news |title=Keras, Thomas Doll Semprot Shin Tae-yong soal Pemanggilan 9 Pemain Persija ke Timnas U-20 Indonesia|url=https://www.bolasport.com/read/313678743/keras-thomas-doll-semprot-shin-tae-yong-soal-pemanggilan-9-pemain-persija-ke-timnas-u-20-indonesia|publisher=bolasport.com|date=2 February 2023|access-date=11 February 2023|language=id}} Additionally, Doll criticized Shin during a press conference, likening him to a clown for his involvement in television advertisements.{{cite news |title=Thomas Doll Serang Shin Tae-yong Lagi: Dia Seperti Badut karena Jadi Bintang Iklan, Bukan Kayak Pelatih Timnas Indonesia|url=https://www.bola.com/indonesia/read/5204532/thomas-doll-serang-shin-tae-yong-lagi-dia-seperti-badut-karena-jadi-bintang-iklan-bukan-kayak-pelatih-timnas-indonesia|publisher=bola.com|date=11 February 2023|access-date=11 February 2023|language=id}}
