PEC Zwolle PEC Zwolle is a Dutch football club based in Zwolle , currently playing in the Eredivisie , the countrys highest level of professional club football . They have played in the Eredivisie for a total of 16 seasons , reaching sixth place in 2015 . They won the KNVB Cup in 2014 and also reached the final in 1928 , 1977 and 2015 . This is the second incarnation of the club ; its predecessor of the same name went bankrupt in 1990 . The current club was founded immediately afterwards as FC Zwolle before renaming back to PEC Zwolle in 2012 . History . Introduction . PEC was founded on 12 June 1910 , the name being an abbreviation of PH EDN Combinatie ( PH EDN Combination ) . The club was formed by a merger of Prins Hendrik ( 1 April 1906 ; Prince Henry ) and Ende Desespereert Nimmer ( 1904 ; And Never Despair ) . PEC has been a professional football club since 23 February 1955 . The club name was changed to PEC Zwolle in 1971 and to PEC Zwolle 82 in 1982 . Instantly after the bankruptcy a new name was chosen for the new club : FC Zwolle . On 14 April 2012 , after the promotion , the club name was changed back to PEC Zwolle . PEC . PEC was one of Zwolles three top football clubs , along with ZAC ( founded in 1893 ) and Zwolsche Boys ( 1918 ) . ZAC was associated with the local high society , Zwolsche Boys were associated with the working class , while PEC was the club of the local middle class . There was considerable rivalry between these three clubs , especially between Zwolsche Boys and PEC . Not only were their stadiums within walking distance from each other , the clubs frequently met each other in league matches . PEC Zwolle . Despite this rivalry , PEC and Zwolsche Boys merged in 1969 , taking the name PEC . In 1971 , this became PEC Zwolle , in an attempt to promote the image of the city of Zwolle . In 1977 , PEC Zwolle reached the finals of the KNVB Cup , losing to Twente in extra time , and missed out on promotion to the Eredivisie by one point . In 1978 , the club won the Dutch first division title and was promoted to the Eredivisie for the first time in its history . In its first season in the Eredivisie , the club finished eighth , which remained PEC Zwolles highest ever league position until finishing sixth in 2014–15 . Their most impressive result that season was a 0–1 away victory at PSV . These results were achieved by a talented group of players bought from other clubs , such as Rinus Israël . The money for this came from the , which was led by FC Zwolle chairman . By 1982 , the club had built up a debt of six million guilders and was on the verge of bankruptcy . PEC Zwolle 82 . Real estate developer took over power in PEC Zwolle in 1982 . He managed to end the debt and restructured the club , which was epitomized by a change in the name : PEC Zwolle 82 . He also had the clubs stadium renovated and decided to name the stadiums main stand the Johan Cruyff Stand , because Johan Cruyff had played his last official match against PEC Zwolle 82 on 13 May 1984 . Eibrink brought legendary players like Piet Schrijvers , Johnny Rep and Cees van Kooten to the club . The club managed to revive , but the revival was short-lived . In 1985 , PEC Zwolle 82 were relegated to the Dutch first division , largely due to an injury-ridden main squad . They managed to return after only one season , having finished in second place . That team was led by the coach Co Adriaanse and the player Foeke Booy . Eibrink , however , grew increasingly disappointed in sponsors and local authorities , accusing them of not loving the club in the way that he did , and he left the club in 1988 . Despite a promising start to the 1988–89 season , the club finished in 16th place , which meant that it was relegated to the First Division . The financial crisis worsened , as sponsors refused to invest in the club any longer . The players wages could not be paid , and a debt to the Slavenburgs bank appeared which had been overseen by the board for around ten years . This led to the clubs bankruptcy in March 1990 . FC Zwolle . After the bankruptcy , it was decided that the club had to sever all ties with the troubled finances of the past and make a fresh start . The club got a new name ( FC Zwolle ) , a new organisational structure , new sponsors , new club colours ( blue-white shirts with white shorts instead of green-white shirts with black shorts ) and a new crest . The first years of the new club were hard , but after 1992–93 , a new team filled with talents such as Jaap Stam ( who would later play for PSV , Manchester United , Lazio , Milan and Ajax ) , Bert Konterman ( Feyenoord and Rangers ) , Johan Hansma ( Heerenveen ) and Henri van der Vegt ( Udinese ) played attractive and successful football . In 1992–93 , FC Zwolle narrowly missed promotion to the Eredivisie . In the KNVB Cup , FC Zwolle reached the quarter-finals , losing to Feyenoord in a penalty shootout . After many failed attempts in the play-offs , FC Zwolle finally managed to secure a return to the Eredivisie by winning the First Division in 2002 . In the 2002–03 Eredivisie season , the club finished in 16th place and escaped relegation via the play-offs . A year later , they made a miserable start to the season , and had scored only seven points halfway through the season . An impressive run , with victories over the likes of SC Heerenveen and AZ , proved in vain , as FC Zwolle dropped from a 16th place ( which would have placed them in the play-offs ) to the 18th place ( direct relegation ) on the last day of the season . They lost 7–1 away at Feyenoord , while their rivals Vitesse and Volendam managed to beat their opponents Utrecht and RBC Roosendaal . At the beginning of the 2004–05 season , FC Zwolle was considered one of the favourites for the title in the First Division , along with Sparta Rotterdam . However , it was another club from the province of Overijssel , Heracles Almelo , that won the title . FC Zwolle finished the season in fourth place , and had to play play-off matches against the second- and sixth-placed teams of the First Division ( Sparta and Helmond Sport ) and the 17th-placed team of the Eredivisie , De Graafschap . They finished bottom of their group , with one point from six matches , while Sparta won the group and clinched promotion and De Graafschap was relegated . The 2005–06 season started well , with FC Zwolle fighting for the leagues top spot in the first months . However , the results dwindled in November and December . Angry supporters threatened trainer-coach Hennie Spijkerman after a 0–5 home defeat against Excelsior , and Spijkerman resigned a few days later . The clubs chairman announced that he would crack down on the supporters involved , and said that some had already received stadium bans of up to 9 years . Spijkermans assistant trainer Harry Sinkgraven finished the season , leading the club to the play-offs , in which Eredivisie side Willem II proved too strong . Former Feyenoord and Ajax player Jan Everse , who had already trained the club between 1996 and 1999 , was presented as the new trainer-coach . He was faced with financial problems at the club , and the departure of key striker Santi Kolk . Many players from the clubs youth teams were brought into the main squad , with mixed results . The team ended at the ninth place of the table during the 2006–07 season . During the 2010–11 season , FC Zwolle held the top spot for a long time , but had to leave the title to RKC Waalwijk . Zwolle ended in 2nd place and didnt achieve promotion . The 2011–12 season was more successful . FC Zwolle won the title and secured their return to the Eredivisie in the 2012–13 season . First trophies and European appearance . Shortly after winning the championship of the Eerste Divisie , the club announced that the name will be changed to PEC Zwolle again . In 2014 , under the guidance of new head coach Ron Jans , PEC Zwolle earned their first major silverware by winning the KNVB Cup , beating league champions Ajax 5–1 in the final . Thus , PEC Zwolle qualified for the UEFA Europa League for the first time . On 3 August 2014 , PEC Zwolle also won the 2014 Johan Cruijff Schaal ( Dutch Supercup ) by defeating AFC Ajax , this time by 1–0 .
