Timeline
Niels Overweg (born 15 May 1948) is a Dutch former professional footballer, who played as a defender for DWS, Go Ahead Eagles, FC Twente and DS'79.
He was capped four times for the Netherlands national team.
After retiring from play, he was also active as manager.
At the age of nineteen, in the 1967–68 season, Overweg became part of the first team of Eredivisie club DWS.
In his first year with the Amsterdam-based club, the defender made fifteen appearances, but was not yet a regular in the squad.
In the following year, Overweg made his breakthrough and from then on always played more than 31 league games per season.
During this time, the defender also gained his first international experience by taking part in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.
In 1972, after DWS merged with Blauw-Wit to form FC Amsterdam, Overweg moved to fellow league side Go Ahead Eagles.
Although he was always a regular for the club, there were no successes under either Barry Hughes (1972–73 season) or Jan Notermans (1973–74 season).
With the change to FC Twente in 1974, Overweg made an important step in his career.

In his seven years in Enschede, FC Twente reached fourth place in the Eredivisie three times.
In 1975, Overweg was called up to the Netherlands national team by head coach George Knobel.
He made his debut on 17 May 1975 against West Germany, as a substitute at halftime for Frans Thijssen.

After his playing career, Overweg went into coaching.
In the 1976–77 season, they won the KNVB Cup by defeating PEC Zwolle 3–0 in the final.
Two years earlier, Overweg had also reached the final with FC Twente, but lost 1–0 against FC Den Haag.
In the same season, they also reached the final of the UEFA Cup, played against the German team Borussia Mönchengladbach.
After a 0–0 away game, FC Twente lost 5–1 on home soil.

Three years later, Overweg became the coach of Telstar from Velsen.
In the summer of 1993, he was replaced by Simon Kistemaker.
In the 1994–95 season, Overweg was appointed as interim manager of Cambuur after the departure of Fritz Korbach.
