The 2024β25 season is Willem II's 129th season in existence and marks a return to the Eredivisie after relegation to the Eerste Divisie following the 2023β24. They will also compete in the KNVB Cup.
Off-Season personnel changes began shortly before the 2023β24 season ended, with the appointment of Merijn Goris as the new general manager of the club, taking over for Martin van Geel who announced in February 2024 that he would be leaving the position on 1 July 2024. [1]
On 14 May Tom CaluwΓ© was announced as the new technical director of the club, replacing Van Geel who was acting in the role following the resignation of Teun Jacobs in September 2023. [2] Shortly after the CaluwΓ© appointment, the team took care of its first offseason priority by signing Peter Maes, the trainer who led the team back into the Eredivisie, to a new contract that runs through the summer of 2026. [3] The team further addressed to its technical staff by hiring Kristof Aelbrecht as assistant-trainer and Stefan Winters as performance coach. [4] Aelbrecht replacing Peter van den Berg, who departed to become the head trainer of the Netherlands Under-17 national team, [5] and Winters replacing departing performance coach, Nils ThΓΆrner. [6] Golkeeper coach, Peter den Otter remained with the club, extending his contract by two years. [7] The technical staff changes were completed with the hiring of Hessel Verhoven as video analyst for the club, replacing Rick Mennes who departed the club after seven years for a similar position with Feyenoord. [8]
On the player side of the club, the departure of four players: Max Svensson, Matthias Verreth, Freek Heerkens, and Michael de Leeuw was announced, with Heerkens retiring and the other three moving on to new clubs. In late June, the club signed their first new player to the squad, acquiring Thomas Didillon-HΓΆdl to a two-year contract.
Willem II kick off the season on 10 August 2024 against 2023-24 KNVB Cup winners Feyenoord at De Kuip.
