Daryl Janmaat (born 22 July 1989) is a Dutch football executive and former professional player who played as a right back. He most recently served as technical director of ADO Den Haag.
Janmaat began his career at ADO Den Haag, and went on to play for Eredivisie clubs SC Heerenveen and Feyenoord. He then had stints in the Premier League with Newcastle United and Watford, before returning to the Netherlands, where he finished his professional career back at ADO Den Haag, finally retiring in 2022.
A full international between 2012 and 2018, Janmaat earned over 34 caps for the Netherlands and was part of the team which finished third at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
On 21 December 2011, Janmaat scored Heerenveen's ninth goal in an 11–1 thrashing of Eerste Divisie side FC Oss to reach the quarter-finals of the KNVB Cup. During his four seasons with the club Janmaat was a starter in three after appearing in only ten games in his debut campaign, which ended with conquest of the KNVB Cup.
Janmaat scored his first goal of the 2013–14 Eredivisie season on 16 February 2014, converting a pass from Graziano Pellè as Feyenoord drew 1–1 with NAC Breda. On 13 April, he scored on the half-volley in the 76th minute as Feyenoord defeated PSV Eindhoven 2–0 in league play.
On 15 August 2015, Janmaat was sent off for two bookable offences against Swansea City, and was therefore unavailable for the following match against Manchester United. On 25 August, and in the second round Football League Cup tie against Northampton Town, he scored the third goal in a 4–1 win. On 19 September, he scored the consolation goal in a 2–1 loss to Watford. On 23 September, he was named captain for the third round League Cup tie against Sheffield Wednesday, but was taken off at half-time, citing illness. He later assisted goals in matches against Norwich City, Crystal Palace and West Ham United.
On 2 March 2016, and after a 1–0 loss away to Stoke City, he was involved in a confrontation with Newcastle supporters. Intending to applaud the travelling supporters, but met with anger instead; he had to be turned away by Jamaal Lascelles. On 9 April, Janmaat was substituted in the first half of a 3–1 loss away to Southampton, having sustained a groin injury. In his frustration, he punched a wall and broke two of his fingers, missing the next four matches for Newcastle. Vurnon Anita replaced him in his absence, and as a result, reports linked him away from the club. He returned to the squad for the penultimate match of the season against Aston Villa, but was not brought on. He was named in the final match of the season against Tottenham Hotspur. By this time, the club were already relegated, but managed to beat Tottenham 5–1, with Janmaat assisting the fourth goal and scoring the fifth goal. A picture of a Newcastle supporter giving Janmaat a reversed two-fingered salute, as the Dutchman wheeled away celebrating his goal was widely circulated on social media.
