“FC Twente also sees the Voetbal International occasionally fall on the mat, and then they see that Oosting is mentioned at Ajax, and now at Feyenoord,” says Van Wissing at The East Stand. “He was actually contacted by a kind of headhunter from Feyenoord. So he was not directly approached by Feyenoord, but he was approached by a kind of headhunter from the club. Just talk to Feyenoord without obligation.”
Van Wissing continues: “They knew for a long time that Slot would go to Liverpool, and that Oosting would be in the picture as his successor. But FC Twente gets all that, because Oosting is an open book. He puts it all on the table with Arnold Bruggink. He then thought: then we have to keep him for longer. There will undoubtedly be clauses in that.”
Jan van Staa chimes in: “It’s not that they only signed him for fear of losing him. Isn’t he? He’s having a great time? He’s one of the better Dutch trainers. Also with the way he plays and the way he plays. communication to the outside world. He is a no-nonsense trainer. That is very popular with that group.
Wantia does not find it very useful to extend Oosting’s contract. “I think it’s quite early. We haven’t yet seen what he is like when things go wrong. He has had a fairly carefree season so far and that is also his own merit. If you are completely cynical, you can say that he has built on the team that Ron Jans left behind.”
“All the basic players were already under contract with FC Twente last year. All newcomers are allowed to come on every now and then. I am curious how he will fit in new players next year. There are still some question marks as far as I am concerned. They still had could wait six months before extending that contract,” said Wantia.
