Ruud Krol 06/01/1979 07/01/1981 1 06/30/1982 Ruud Krol zou zijn contract met 1 jaar verlengd hebben. Het kan zijn dat hij na het behalen van de dubbel en zijn wens om naar het buitenland te gaan met een verbeterd contract overtuigd is om te blijven en dat dit verbeterde contract begin seizoen 1979-80 al inging.
