Overview
- Willem II announced on Wednesday that Jurgen Streppel has signed as head coach through the end of the season to deliver immediate results.
- The promotion club sits at the bottom of the Eredivisie with no wins this campaign, prompting the technical staff to seek a rapid change in leadership.
- John Stegeman was dismissed earlier this month and technical adviser Adrie Koster served as interim head coach for eight days before Streppel’s appointment.
- Streppel previously managed Willem II from 2011–2016, securing two promotions and knowing the club’s culture, and he was dismissed by Akritas Chlorakas days before returning to Tilburg.
- The club also released assistant coach Pascal Diender and expects Streppel to take the bench for the upcoming match at PSV as it focuses on restoring confidence and securing survival.
