Ex-referee Jaap Uilenberg, who hung up his
ref's boots 3 years ago to take over the job as Twente's technical director,
has been offered a new job with the Dutch FA (KNVB) as referee supervisor. The
KNVB want Uilenberg to train, manage and appoint referees in Dutch
professional football. Uilenberg is delighted with his new appointment
saying, "FC Twente is a great club with great people, but my
heart lies with the referees, and when the KNVB asked me for this position
I knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I fell as though I've grown three years
older during my one year at Twente. Despite that, I would have stayed in
Enschede if the
KNVB had not asked me. I don't think I have failed here. I have made
mistakes of course, but who doesn't?"
