Ulderink: „I have enjoyed working for FC Twente for two years. Led by Ron Jans, we have worked hard with the technical staff to achieve the results we have achieved, with European football being the ultimate prize. During the season I realized that I have different ideas about certain technical matters.”

To continue: ,,That’s not a bad thing, as long as it remains workable for me and I don’t have to make any concessions to myself. The latter was no longer the case and that is why I think I should take my responsibility and have decided to leave the club. I thank everyone for the two great years at FC Twente and wish the staff, players and supporters all the best for the new season.”

Technical director Jan Streuer is disappointed with the departure: „Ron Jans, the other members of the technical staff, the players and I are very sorry that Andries has taken this step. He no longer feels out of place. Then we have no choice but to respect his decision. Of course we wish Andries every success in his further career.”
