In 1978, Jol decided he had outgrown FC Den Haag. For a long time, Ajax was his desired destination, and he was eager to join De Meer. However, according to rumors, it was a famous Hungarian agent, Bekeffi, who drew the attention of FC Bayern Munich to him. This completely shifted the course of Jol’s career. The Ajax, feeling slighted, decided to halt negotiations, giving Bayern a clear path. In the end, FC Den Haag received 500,000 marks for Jol: 350,000 in cash and 150,000 in other forms. And all of it… in cash!
