Bouzin is far from the first Belgian coach to work as head coach at a Dutch first division club. Previously, Tony Van den Bosch, Paul Vervaeck, Jean-Marc Jaumin, Eddy Casteels, Pascal Meurs and Ferried Naciri were active in the Netherlands. But she is the first to win the national title.
Zwolle’s title can be called a surprise. In the Dutch competition, only three teams finished lower in the standings. Zwolle started the Dutch play-offs fifth. Landstede never had home advantage in any round.
