Max Huiberts Announces Departure from AZ: Reflections and Insights

Max Huiberts will depart from AZ at the conclusion of this season. On New Year’s Eve, he engaged in an extensive discussion with Voetbal International, reflecting on his time at the club and looking ahead to future endeavors.

During the conversation, Huiberts addressed the role of Marijn Beuker, who many have labeled as the key figure in the current AZ youth setup. Huiberts contested this view, stating, “I often read that Marijn is considered the architect of the AZ academy. However, I believe the true architects are Aloys Wijnker and Paul Brandenburg.”

Furthermore, Huiberts expressed his astonishment regarding the swift exit of his colleague Alex Kroes from Ajax, indicating that he did not expect such a rapid departure.
