New KNVB director Marianne van Leeuwen: ‘I don’t come out of an egg’

–

our telesport editors – Unlike her predecessors Eric Gudde, Bert van Oostveen and Henk Kesler, the new director of professional football Marianne van Leeuwen has no years of experience at the KNVB or elsewhere in professional football. Without that background, she will have to consider filling the two most important football positions within the association in the short term. As of July 1, there must be a successor for director of top football Nico-Jan Hoogma and as of January 1, 2023, if Louis van Gaal leaves, a new national coach must be appointed.
