[Saba Sports News] The Dutch Football Association has confirmed the
resignation of Chairman Just Spee, citing health reasons. With the European
Championship scheduled for the following year, the Dutch Football Association
is taking cautious steps in selecting a successor. It is known that Spee
assumed the role of Chairman in 2019 and was set to be re-elected in 2022.
Aside from his position at the Dutch Football Association, Spee is also a
member of the UEFA executive committee and has been facing physical and mental
exhaustion. A regular meeting of the Dutch Football Association is scheduled
for December of this year, during which a new Chairman will be elected. Some
fans have jokingly suggested that Spee’s resignation might be attributed to
frustration over recent incidents involving disgruntled Ajax fans.
