Episode Notes
Our guest on Episode #75 of the TGG Podcast, in association with Teamworks, is Merijn Zeeman.
Merijn is the General Manager of AZ Alkmaar - a team that regularly compete at the top of the Eredivisie, despite having a budget that's dwarfed by their bigger rivals.
Prior to joining AZ, Merijn was the Sporting Director at Dutch cycling outfit Team Visma, helping them create history by winning all three Grand Tours in 2023.
In this episode, Merijn told us about the lessons he has taken from cycling into football, about how AZ have managed to outsmart the opposition and about their recent collaboration with Teamworks and Luke Bornn.
We hope you enjoy this episode and if you do, please follow us via your preferred podcast provider.
