About four months after his dismissal from Genk, Van den Brom has acquired a new club. The Dutchman will train Al-Taawon. They are only 13th in the Saudi Pro League and dangle above the relegation zone. In 25 matches, Al-Taawon could only win 5 more times. With Van den Brom, and his experience, they hope to save their season to some extent.
It is a completely new challenge for Van den Brom himself. Until now, the Dutchman has only coached in his home country, at AZ, Utrecht and Vitesse, among others, and in Belgium, at Anderlecht and Genk. With Anderlecht, Van den Brom became champion, with Genk he won the cup of Belgium. After a disappointing start to the season, the Dutchman was fired from the Limburgers at the beginning of December.
Preferably, the trainer stepped in somewhere at the start of the season, he recently said in an interview with HLN. He didn’t care where that would be. It has become Saudi Arabia.
