Maurice Steijn has returned as head coach of ADO Den Haag, signing a contract until mid-2028 after the club dismissed Robin Peter on 2 November over what it called disappointing sporting results.
Steijn, 52, previously managed ADO from 2011 to 2014 and held several other roles at the club early in his coaching career. He has also worked at VVV-Venlo and Sparta Rotterdam, and spent several months as Ajax head coach. His second spell at Sparta ended this summer when his contract expired.
ADO technical director Steven Gunn said Steijn understood the club and its importance to the city and supporters. He said Steijn had previously helped Sparta avoid relegation and develop further, and that the club saw his approach as a basis for achieving its goal of staying in the Eredivisie.
The club has also added Jay Driessen, 57, to its coaching staff as an assistant. He will work alongside Levi Schwiebbe.
