Delighted FC Volendam comes with news about Wim Jonk and “Team Jonk”

Wim Jonk remains one more year for the FC Volendam team. The 53-year-old coach extended his contract until the summer of 2022, the club announced Saturday. Technical director Jasper van Leeuwen also spans a year, as do Team Jonk specialists who play an important role in the technical policy the club has followed since this season. “FC Volendam is pleased that, despite uncertain times, it can continue to build on the sports ground to realize its ambitions,” says the club site.

“With the appointment of Jonk and his team in April last year, FC Volendam started a new course. After first providing the Supervisory Board and then the Board of Directors with a new impetus, this also laid the foundation for a professionalization process in the technical field, ”says a statement. “Not only Jonk and Van Leeuwen give a visible interpretation of this, Ruben Jongkind (strategic consultant), Freek de Boer (head of performance) and Michel Hordijk (head of training) also make a significant contribution in various areas with their own specialty” .

Jonk leaves an immediate impression in his first season. With on average the youngest team in the Cooking Champions Division, with the exception of promising teams, the second period title was captured. FC Volendam is currently in third place. “We are all working together on a clear mission,” says Jonk. “I firmly believe that everyone at the club works hard to grow together at a higher level. It makes sense to me that we are not done with this yet, so I look forward to the next steps. We were already on the way with more atmosphere and experience in the stadium ”.

“As soon as we are allowed to play again for the public, we can also continue with that great challenge: playing the entire stadium.” Van Leeuwen emphasizes that FC Volendam has taken good first steps. “But we are not there yet and you know that in higher sport the next steps are always much more difficult.” We hope to be able to finish the current season as it should, but even after that we will continue on the chosen path with great motivation. On behalf of the entire Jonk team, I hope that all fans and sponsors will continue to support the club, because in difficult times all shoulders are needed. We are confident in the strength of the Volendam community, especially at times like this that can make a difference. ”
