Bottom-placed Willem II sack manager Stegeman
Summarised by MatchPal
Willem II sack manager John Stegeman after collecting just two points from nine Eredivisie matches this season.
Willem II have dismissed manager John Stegeman with immediate effect, along with assistant Pascal Diender. The decision comes after a poor start to the season in which the bottom-placed Eredivisie club earned only two points from their opening nine matches. Technical director Freek Heerkens said the club saw "insufficient perspective" to continue the partnership. Stegeman, 50, had guided Willem II to promotion via the play-offs last season, beating FC Volendam on penalties in the final.
