ADO Den Haag Sack Trainer Robin Peter After Eleven Games

ADO Den Haag has confirmed the departure of trainer Robin Peter, according to VoetbalPrimeur. The Duitse trainer was let go after eleven games.

The 42-year-old Peter had a successful stint at ADO Den Haag, leading the team to promotion to the Eredivisie last season. However, the team's current form has seen them drop to 17th place in the league, with eight of their twelve games played against clubs from the left side of the table.

Interim-trainer Levi Schwiebbe has spoken about the emotional conversation he had with Peter after the news of his departure. "It was a very hectic and chaotic week," Schwiebbe said. "I spoke to Robin directly after the announcement. What kind of conversation was that? Very emotional, just. It affected us both. Apart from the fact that we worked great together last season, Robin is just a nice person. A kind, gentle man. You know. Personally, it affected us both in that regard."

Schwiebbe also acknowledged that the decision to sack Peter may have come as a surprise to many, but he understands the way the football world works. "For the outside world, I understand that it was an unexpected decision," he said. "We were champions, we had a great year. But you also know how the football world works. Yesterday, you can be the hero, but today the villain. In football, it really works that way. That's hard."

Van Mieghem also expressed his surprise at Peter's departure, saying, "After eleven games... That's quite quick. Especially when you see where we came from last year together. We were surprised by the decision. I certainly was. You see that we're struggling to pick up points, but I think we've also had some bad luck."
