Max Huiberts to Depart AZ After Season Amid Mixed Fan Sentiment

Max Huiberts will bid farewell to AZ at the conclusion of this season. Throughout his lengthy tenure, he has delivered commendable work; however, it appears that the fans have rarely been completely satisfied, a sentiment Huiberts himself has noted.

In a recent interview with Voetbal International, Huiberts addressed the ongoing criticism regarding AZ’s failure to secure a trophy during his time. “Naturally, that is frustrating. I have noticed that the outcomes of matches affect me more deeply as time goes on. The recent loss in the cup final was particularly disheartening. However, when I reflect on our current standings and Robert’s significant contributions over the years, I find considerable pride in the club’s stability and the accomplishments made in player development. Perhaps these achievements are even more meaningful than winning a trophy. During this period, we reached the cup final three times, came close to winning the championship, and nearly made it to a European final.”
