We’ve been waiting for this!
The Dutch Federation has decided to fire to end their contract with Peter Blange, the coach of their men’s team. Both parties have stated that the decision was mutual.

As we all know, 2010 was a disastrous year for Kooistra, Kooy and the rest of the men’s team. They failed to win a ticket for the 2010 World Champs, failed to qualify for the European Championship this year after losing to Estonia during the qualification round and the Federation had to withdraw from the 2011 World League (Japan was the replacement) due to “Team Development” issues.
We wish the Dutch the best as well as ex-coach Peter.
