Vitesse Arnhem have sacked coach Hans Westerhof after a disappointing first half of the season, the Dutch top-flight club said on their website (www.vitesse.nl) on Tuesday.
The sixty-year-old Westerhof, who had spells with Ajax Amsterdam and PSV Eindhoven, joined the club in July but became the third coach to be sacked before the winter break after Roda JC Kerkrade’s Raymond Atteveld and Utrecht’s Wim van Hanegem.
Vitesse are fifteenth in the eighteen-team league with fifteen points from seventeen matches, four more then bottom side Volendam.
