AZ fired coach Pascal Jansen on Wednesday. The club does this after the escape in the KNVB Cup against the amateurs of Quick Boys. Former player Maarten Martens finishes the season in Alkmaar.
AZ escaped unscathed against the number three of the Second Division in the night from Tuesday to Wednesday. Only via penalties did the Alkmaarders secure a place in the quarter-finals of the cup tournament.
That was a new setback for AZ. The ambitious club has performed disappointingly in fourth place in the Eredivisie so far. In addition, the two-time national champions in the Conference League were already eliminated in the group stage.
It was reason enough for the AZ management to fire Jansen after more than three years. "During the season we have several moments when we, as management and head coach, discuss matters and ultimately we decided to part ways," is all director Max Huiberts says in the AZ press release.
Jansen reacts excitedly. "I have been around the football world long enough that I know that this can be part of it. It is of course very unfortunate and disappointing, because I was very competitive to successfully complete the season with AZ. Despite this disappointment, I am proud of my period at the club and the opportunities I have been given here."
