PEC Zwolle dismissed head coach Henry van der Vegt with immediate effect after eight Eredivisie matches. The club stood 16th with four points, having lost six times, and said it had seen too little stability and sporting development. Van der Vegt, 54, was in his second season as head coach after previously serving for years as an assistant at the club. Technical director Gerry Hamstra said the club did not have confidence that results would improve. One report cited the 7-0 defeat to Feyenoord among the poor early-season results behind the decision.
