Poignant Ijsseldby for interim PEC boss Van der Ree: 'Special, of course'

Interim boss Van der Ree faces Go Ahead Eagles on Sunday, his former club where he was assistant for three seasons.

Dennis van der Ree and Maikel van der Werff have taken interim charge of PEC Zwolle following Henry van der Vegt's dismissal. They face Go Ahead Eagles in the Ijsseldby on Sunday, a particularly poignant fixture for Van der Ree, who spent three seasons as assistant coach at Deventer. Van der Ree expressed his respect for his former employers while emphasizing his commitment to building success at PEC, noting that Go Ahead's creative attacking players are vulnerable defensively—an area PEC plans to exploit.
