Cycling: Merijn Zeeman says goodbye to cycling and hello to football

Going from sports director of a cycling team to technical director of a football team. An atypical route, which the Dutchman Merijn Zeeman decided to follow.

Active within the Dutch team, Visma-Lease, since 2012, Merijn Zeeman took over as sporting director in 2017 and was one of the great architects of the rise to power of the team of Wout van Aert and Jonas Vingegaard .

In 2023, the “wasps” successively won the Giro, the Tour de France and the Vuelta with three different riders (Roglic, Vingegaard, Kuss). A historic trilogy and an incredible tour de force.

“It is a difficult decision, which I also take with pain. Precisely because this great organization is close to my heart,” explained Merijn Zeeman (45) in the press release published by her future ex-team.
