ADO Den Haag dismissed manager Robin Peter and assistant coach Philipp Seidler following a series of poor results. The club, positioned 17th in the Eredivisie, saw the duo depart after a seventh league defeat and a cup exit against Excelsior ’31.

Assistant Levi Schwiebbe took over as interim head coach and led the team to a 3-1 victory against Sparta Rotterdam at the WerkTalent Stadion. Juho Kilo opened the scoring from a corner, and although Bas Kuipers equalized for Sparta Rotterdam in the second half, ADO Den Haag regained control. Nigel Thomas scored after a mistake by goalkeeper Michael Brouwer, and Daryl van Mieghem secured the win. The match included a collision between Pascal Mulder and Shunsuke Mito that required Mulder to leave the pitch. This victory provided ADO Den Haag with their second win of the season, bringing them to 9 points while maintaining their position in seventeenth place.

Following the interim period, Maurice Steijn has been named the new head coach of ADO Den Haag. The 52-year-old returns to the club where he began his professional playing career in 1993 and previously served in various coaching capacities. Negotiations regarding his contract length are reportedly ongoing, with suggestions of a term lasting either 1.5 or 2.5 years.
