, S.S. Lazio
, A.C. Milan
and AFC Ajax before retiring in October 2007. Stam is currently the assistant manager of Art Langeler at his former club FC Zwolle
.
. On 15 August 1992, Stam made his professional debut for FC Zwolle
in a 1–1 draw against SC Heracles
in the Eerste Divisie
. He became a first team regular right away and moved to Eredivisie
side Cambuur Leeuwarden for the following season, but relegated in his first season which brought him back into the Eerste Divisie. Two seasons at Cambuur earned him a transfer to Eredivisie side Willem II
. At Willem II he impressed at the Eredivisie level straight away, which meant his final breakthrough. A shock 1–0 home victory over Ajax led to Stam's transfer to PSV Eindhoven in the same season in which they eventually won the KNVB Cup
, his first professional trophy.
In 1998, Stam became the then most expensive
Dutch football player in history and the most expensive defender in history, when Manchester United
bought him for £
10.6 million.
, during which time United won three Premier League titles, one FA Cup
, the Intercontinental Cup
and the UEFA Champions League
. He scored his only goal for the club in a 6-2 away victory against Leicester City.
Early in the 2001–02 season, Stam was controversially sold to Lazio
in Italy
, after Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson
was reportedly furious with allegations Stam had made in his autobiography Head to Head about himself and the club. Stam made numerous statements in the book about his views on opposing players, and notoriously alleged that Ferguson's approach to buy him was done without the permission of PSV Eindhoven. Laurent Blanc
was signed as his replacement.
However, Alex Ferguson has since described the decision to sell Stam: "At the time he had just come back from an achilles injury and we thought he had just lost a little bit. We got the offer from Lazio, £16.5m for a centre-back who was 29. It was an offer I couldn't refuse. But in playing terms it was a mistake. He is still playing for Ajax at a really good level." On the financial report Manchester United announced the fee was £15.3 million.
, Stam was found guilty of having the banned steroid nandrolone
in his system following a Serie A
game, and received a five-month ban, which was eventually reduced by a month after appeals. He is the second Lazio player suspended in 2001, after Fernando Couto
.
In his last season at the club, he won the Coppa d'Italia with Lazio.
after Euro 2004. He reached his second Champions League final with Rossoneri in 2005, but was a runner-up after his team defeated by Liverpool
