'''Dwight Lodeweges''' (born 26 October 1957) is a Canadian–born Dutch [[association football|football]] coach and former professional player. He is currently one of the assistant managers of the [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands national team]]. In 2020, after Ronald Koeman left to join Barcelona, he was appointed as caretaker manager for two matches. On 29 June 2021, [[Frank de Boer]] resigned as coach and Lodeweges again took over on an interim basis until a new head coach was appointed.

After the resignation of [[Huub Stevens]], Lodeweges was named [[PSV Eindhoven]]'s head coach. He finished the season, but then left to become head coach of [[NEC Nijmegen|NEC]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/462/netherlands/2009/03/29/1181219/nec-to-appoint-lodeweges-as-head-coach-report |title=NEC To Appoint Lodeweges As Head Coach – Report |publisher=Goal |date=29 March 2009}}</ref> On 9 April 2009, he signed on for two years<ref>{{cite web |url=http://english.psv.nl/web/show/id=58980/contentid=25502 |title=N.E.C reach agreement with Lodeweges on a two-year deal |publisher=English.psv.nl |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090414073102/http://english.psv.nl/web/show/id%3D58980/contentid%3D25502 |archive-date=14 April 2009 }}</ref> but was dismissed from the role of manager at [[NEC Nijmegen|NEC]] after the defeat 4–0 of Sunday, against PSV Eindhoven.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.focus.de/sport/fussball/int_ligen/international-lodeweges-als-coach-von-nijmegen-zurueckgetreten_aid_448522.html |title=Lodeweges als Coach von Nijmegen zurückgetreten |publisher=Focus.de |date=27 October 2009}}</ref>

On 9 March 2010, he was named as the new head coach of [[FC Edmonton]].<ref>[http://fcedmonton.com/content/coach-dwight-lodeweges Coach: Dwight Lodeweges] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100501140714/http://fcedmonton.com/content/coach-dwight-lodeweges |date=1 May 2010 }}</ref> He left the club before its first competitive match and signed on to coach [[JEF United Chiba|JEF United]] of [[J2 League]] on 3 December 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.edmontonsun.com/sports/soccer/2010/12/03/16421996.html |title=FC Edmonton coaches leaving &#124; Soccer &#124; Sports |publisher=Edmonton Sun }}</ref>

In 2013, he signed with [[SC Cambuur|Cambuur]] in the Dutch premier division.

The start of the 2015–16 season was bad, with Heerenveen at the bottom of the table. In October 2015, he was replaced.
