Arjan Veurink Named Netherlands Women's Head Coach

Arjan Veurink, the assistant coach of the England women's national team, will assume the head coach position for the Netherlands women's team after the European Championship in July. Veurink, who has worked closely with Sarina Wiegman since 2017, has played a significant role in guiding both the Netherlands and England to major successes, including England's victory at the 2022 Euros and a runner-up finish at the 2023 World Cup. The Dutch soccer federation confirmed his four-year contract, succeeding Andries Jonker, and Veurink expressed excitement about leading his home country's team. England will face the Netherlands in the group stage of this summer's European Championship, where Veurink will still be part of the England coaching team. The English Football Association has praised Veurink's contribution and assured that he remains focused on the ongoing UEFA Women's Nations League campaign. Veurink views this transition as a natural progression in his career, highlighting his readiness to take on the head coach role.
