AZ Part Ways with Coach Maarten Martens Following PressureAZ Part Ways with Coach Maarten Martens Following Pressure

Multiple sources have reported to SoccerNews that following this weekend’s Eredivisie matches, a prominent club is set to part ways with its coach. The club in question is AZ Alkmaar, and the coach is Maarten Martens. Shortly thereafter, the club confirmed this news through an official press release.

The decision comes on the heels of significant pressure on two top-tier coaches. On one hand, Robin van Persie faced scrutiny due to Feyenoord’s disappointing results and the remarks made by Quinten Timber following the 3-4 defeat to Sparta Rotterdam. On the other hand, Maarten Martens, despite a decisive 6-0 victory in the KNVB Cup against Ajax earlier in the week, struggled to deliver satisfactory results in the Eredivisie.

Update: AZ Confirms Departure

Following the reports, the Alkmaar club officially announced the departure of Maarten Martens.
