Threats accelerated Mark Diemers’ departure from Feyenoord: ‘I immediately said: I want to leave’ Dutch football

,,He is now team manager at Feyenoord, but he arranged everything in terms of accommodation then,’ Diemers looks back in the ESPN podcast. “We need to talk about something,” he began. I just spoke to the security manager and threats have come in to your address. They are now being checked by the police. They are guys who have said on internet forums that they would come over to my house. You will soon hear whether you can go home under police escort or in your own car.”

Diemers, in his own words, was completely shocked. ,,I immediately called my agent and said: I want to get out of here. This has nothing to do with football anymore. It got too close to my ten month old son and my girlfriend. In retrospect it turned out not to be an acute threat, so that I could go home myself, but the damage was already done. I never expected to experience this.”
