Arjan Veurink Takes Helm of Dutch Women's Football Team

Arjan Veurink has taken over as the new head coach of the Netherlands women's national football team, following a heartfelt departure from his role alongside Sarina Wiegman and the England team. Veurink, who had been Wiegman's assistant for over eight years, bid goodbye to an impactful era in women's football.

Looking back on his collaboration with Wiegman, Veurink admitted that emotions ran high as they wrapped up their successful partnership. Together, they led the Netherlands to the 2019 Women's World Cup final and secured back-to-back European Championships with England. "It was a wonderful time," he reflected.

Despite the emotional farewell, Veurink embraced the opportunity to lead his home nation's team. With his recent appointment, Veurink replaces Andries Jonker and aims to usher in a new chapter for Dutch women's football after their recent setback at the Euros in Switzerland.
