Third managerial sacking in Eredivisie: ADO parts ways with Robin Peter

ADO Den Haag sacked manager Robin Peter after just six points from eleven Eredivisie matches, despite his promotion success last season.

ADO Den Haag has dismissed manager Robin Peter following disappointing results in the Eredivisie. The club sits seventeenth with six points from eleven matches after losing 3-0 at PEC Zwolle on Sunday, extending a run of three consecutive defeats including a cup loss to amateur side Excelsior '31.

Peter, 39, led ADO to the Keuken Kampioen Divisie title and promotion to the top flight last season, but the club's board decided change was necessary to fight relegation. Technical director Mark Wotte acknowledged Peter's achievement in winning the championship but said six points from eleven games was insufficient. Assistant coach Levi Schwiebbe takes temporary charge ahead of Saturday's match against Sparta Rotterdam before the international break.

Peter is the third Eredivisie manager sacked this season, following Henry van der Vegt at PEC Zwolle and John Stegeman at Willem II. He had a contract through the end of the season after joining from FC Emmen.
