Speculations Surrounding Maarten Martens’ Position at AZ Amid Lackluster Season

Following a disappointing first half of the season, speculation regarding the possible dismissal of Maarten Martens from his position at AZ is intensifying. Technical Director Max Huiberts, who will be leaving his role at the end of this season, addressed these rumors in an interview with Voetbal International.

“We are clearly not satisfied with the number of points we have accumulated in the league this season,” Huiberts acknowledged. “However, if we manage to win our rescheduled match against Excelsior, we will find ourselves just below the third place in the standings. We are also progressing in Europe and have reached the Round of 16 in the cup tournament. There isn’t much more to be said about that.”
