Maurice Steijn refuses proposal from Go Ahead Eagles

Go Ahead Eagles have been looking for a new coach for a week, considering that René Hake is about to move to Manchester United. Initially, the Eagles are looking for a Dutch coach with experience and this characteristic fits perfectly with Maurice Steijn.

The Go Ahead Eagles board understood that Maurice Steijn would be the ideal name to replace René Hake, but the former Ajax coach chose not to accept taking on the role.

Go Ahead Eagles director of football Paul Bosvelt announced that the search for a new coach is not that easy.

“We have several names in our heads, but in practice, this becomes more complicated. Some have other options, others don’t want to leave their current clubs. We have to make the right choice and take the necessary time,” said the director.

Manchester United has not yet made the signing of René Hake official, nor have Go Ahead Eagles announced René Hake’s departure. The current Eagles coach is expected to work alongside Erik ten Hag, as assistant coach to the former Ajax coach.
