Almost a month ago, Merijn Zeeman, sports director of the Visma-Lease a Bike cycling team, showed his interest in continuing his sports career in the world of football. “I think football is a very beautiful sport and one day I would like to take the step,” he noted, although he also confirmed that this season he would continue with his current position within the Visma-Lease a Bike structure.
Wielerflits has confirmed the scoop reported by journalist Jaap de Groot. At the end of the year, Zeeman will become the new sports director of AZ Alkmaarone of the most powerful clubs in Eredivisie. Zeeman, who is one of the main architects of the achievements of the last years of Visma-Rent a Bicycle (formerly Jumbo-Visma), thus will try to replicate the success achieved in previous years, this time in football.
Zeeman’s future departure should not affect the team’s strategy in the current season. Visma-Rent a Bicycle. The Dutch squad is looking to repeat the successes achieved last season where it achieved victory in three Grand Tours. Primoz Roglictoday in Bora, winning the Giro d’Italia, Jonas Vingegaard repeated his victory in the Tour de France and Sepp Kuss finally took the red jersey of the Vuelta a España.
