Steijn returns to ADO Den Haag as new head coach

Steijn returns to ADO Den Haag as head coach, replacing Robin Peter who was sacked in November after poor Eredivisie results.

Maurice Steijn is returning to ADO Den Haag as head coach, the club where his playing and coaching careers began. Steijn started his professional playing career in ADO's youth academy before eventually moving to NAC Breda to finish his playing days. He then rejoined ADO as a coach, progressing from youth team roles to assistant and eventually becoming head coach in 2011, a position he held for nearly three years.

After more than twelve years away, Steijn is now set to return to the Hague club. He has been without a job since leaving Sparta Rotterdam in the summer when his contract expired. ADO identified him as their dream candidate to replace Robin Peter, who was dismissed in early November following disappointing results in the Eredivisie.

Steijn is expected to complete negotiations on Monday evening and officially take over the role.
