Bas Sibum (born 26 December 1982) is a Dutch professional football manager and former player.

Sibum began his playing career at Emmen before playing for clubs including Twente, Roda JC, NEC, Alemannia Aachen, and Waasland-Beveren. After retiring in 2016, he transitioned into coaching, starting with Emmen's youth teams. In May 2023, he was appointed head coach of Roda JC, leading them to a strong season and earning the Eerste Divisie Manager of the Season award in 2024. He joined Eredivisie club Heracles Almelo in 2025.

Playing career

[edit | edit source]

Sibum began playing football at SV Twedo in his hometown Nieuw-Amsterdam, Drenthe.[2] He was scouted by the local professional club, Emmen, where he made his professional debut in the second-tier Eerste Divisie in the 2000–01 season. On 7 April 2001, he replaced Alami Ahannach in the 73rd minute of a 2–0 league loss to Heracles Almelo to make his professional debut.[3] In his third and final year with the second division club, he was a regular starter, making 33 appearances and scoring five goals.[4] At the end of the season, Emmen finished second in the table but failed to secure promotion in the play-offs.[5]

Sibum joined Eredivisie club Twente in 2003.[6] Sibum quickly secured a spot in the starting lineup under coach René Vandereycken, playing alongside Peter Niemeyer, Giorgi Gakhokidze, and Simon Cziommer.[7][8] Over three seasons, he made 87 appearances for the Tukkers.[4] However, under coach Fred Rutten, who preferred a midfield trio of Orlando Engelaar, Otman Bakkal, and Karim El Ahmadi, Sibum found himself relegated to a backup role.[9] Consequently, during the winter break, both Niemeyer and Sibum left the club; Niemeyer joined Werder Bremen, while Sibum transferred to Roda JC.[10]

In his year at Roda JC, Sibum struggled to secure a regular spot in Raymond Atteveld's team, but he did score his first ever Eredivisie goal on 10 February 2007, in a 1–0 win against NEC.[11]

In January 2008, he signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with NEC.[12] He quickly became a regular starter and a fan favourite.[13] Under manager Mario Been, he demonstrated his abilities on an international stage in the UEFA Cup, playing in seven matches.[4] However, NEC's campaign ended in the third round with 3–0 and 1–0 losses against Hamburger SV.[14][15] In the 2009–10 season, a hip injury set him back, but he returned to the team during the winter break.[16] Despite his efforts, NEC finished in the lower half of the table again in the 2010–11 season, following 11th and 13th place finishes in the previous seasons.[17]

He played in Nijmegen for three-and-a-half seasons before departing for German club Alemannia Aachen in the summer of 2011.[18] In his only season at the club, Aachen suffered relegation from the 2. Bundesliga.[19] In 2012, he signed a one-year contract with Belgian club Waasland-Beveren, with an option for an additional year.[20]

On 3 June 2014, Heracles Almelo announced that Sibum had signed a two-year contract with the club, with an option for an additional season.[21] In his first year, he made eight league appearances, but none in the second year.[4] After the 2015–16 season, Sibum retired from professional football.[2] He then played for MVV Alcides in the Eerste Klasse but retired from football altogether in February 2017 due to chronic injuries.[22][23][24]

Managerial career

[edit | edit source]

Youth and assistant coaching

[edit | edit source]

Sibum started coaching Emmen's youth in February 2017, where he was appointed coach of the under-19 team.[25] He was since promoted to assistant coach of the first team.[26]

Roda JC

[edit | edit source]

On 9 May 2023, Eerste Divisie club Roda JC announced Sibum as their new head coach, replacing Edwin de Graaf.[27] The move marked a return to the club, where he played between 2007 and 2008.[28]

Under his leadership, the team experienced a significant turnaround in results, propelling them into contention for promotion.[29][30] On 3 May 2024, Roda JC fans prematurely celebrated their team's promotion to the Eredivisie after a 2–0 victory over Cambuur, believing they had secured a top-two finish. However, a 95th-minute equalizer by their direct rivals, Groningen, against Telstar denied Roda's promotion, extending the race to the final matchday. The stadium announcer had mistakenly announced their promotion due to a poor internet connection, leading Roda's supporters to invade the pitch at Parkstad Limburg Stadion. The premature pitch invasion made international news.[31][32] On the final matchday, Roda lost a direct matchup to Groningen, meaning they had to compete in the playoffs for promotion.[33] In the first round of the playoffs, Roda lost 8–1 on aggregate to NAC Breda, extending their stay in the second tier.[34] As a result of Roda's successful season, Sibum was named manager of the season in the Eerste Divisie on 15 May 2024.[35][36]

Heracles Almelo

[edit | edit source]

On 2 April 2025, Sibum was appointed head coach of Eredivisie club Heracles Almelo on a three-year contract, effective from the start of the 2025–26 season.[37] The role marked a return to the club where he had played between 2014 and 2016. He succeeded Erwin van de Looi, who opted not to renew his contract.[38]
