Sparta trainer Maurice Steijn will report on Thursday after threats from NAC’s supporters. The coach, who had to leave the Breda club after last season, said this to ESPN on Thursday. According to Steijn, there is also a lot of threat to his children.
Maurice Steijn left NAC Breda last June. The reason was given that he and his family would have been threatened by the NAC supporters. It was remarkable, however, that the coach never filed a report and that no concrete evidence was provided. In Breda the story was therefore referred to the land of fables by a large part of the supporters. The threats are said to have been made up by Steijn, who now works at Sparta Rotterdam.
But on Tuesday evening it turned out that the events of last season, true or not, are still high on the Steijn family. Son Sem scored in the Rat Verlegh Stadium for ADO Den Haag against NAC and then provoked the audience. He raised his middle finger, among other things, and later said that he did not regret it. Father Maurice thought that was a good action.
Threat declaration
This was not found in Breda and it provoked many reactions. And according to Maurice Steijn again in a very aggressive and inadmissible way. What Steijn left behind last year, he will do now. A police report will be filed on Thursday.
“We left that out last year because we didn’t want to make it even bigger,” Steijn told ESPN. “But whatever came in today, also towards my children, defies everything. So we will report it.”
“I would also like to thank all the people who participated in character assassination towards me that my children are now fully threatened again. I see someone sitting in the studio with you and he also participated in that.”
NAC is aware posed
Steijn contacted NAC on Wednesday about the threats against him and that of his family. “We left it alone today. A lot has happened again today. There has also been a lot of contact again with safety within NAC. The fact that as a former trainer and player, while I whether I did it right or not, but I don’t think I committed a crime last year.”
“And I can’t even safely shake hands with my former teammates or my former colleagues and former staff members at NAC yesterday, then I have to think carefully whether that is the normal course of business.”
