Danny Buijs: A Potential Move to AZ Alkmaar This Summer

omidbasir- As it stands, Danny Buijs is still at the helm of Fortuna Sittard, but there are speculations that he may make a significant transfer within the Eredivisie this upcoming summer.

Buijs is reportedly linked to the vacant head coach position at AZ Alkmaar, currently filled on an interim basis by Leeroy Echteld. The club is actively seeking a permanent successor to Maarten Martens, who was dismissed earlier this season, and Buijs’s name has emerged as a strong candidate due to his previous experience as a player for clubs like Feyenoord and ADO Den Haag.

There are high hopes that Buijs could help AZ reach the upper echelons of the league. According to former player Waterreus, the AFAS Stadion would be an ideal workplace for Buijs: “I would prefer to see him take on a role at another club, specifically in Alkmaar. AZ has performed admirably for years; however, they have struggled to firmly establish themselves among the top teams, despite having a wealth of players who are often of top-club caliber. The main issue seems to be a lack of tenacity and instinct. There is a prevailing sense that AZ could consistently challenge PSV, Feyenoord, and Ajax, but they are missing a gritty fighter. AZ is in need of someone like Danny Buijs.”

Could he transform the Alkmaarders into a true top club? Discussions in the cheese city of the Netherlands have already begun regarding the potential of breaking into the ‘top four’.
