Danny Buijs is not interested in the trainer’s position at FC Emmen, he said on Sunday Good morning Premier League. The club from Drenthe is looking for a successor to Dick Lukkien, who will leave for FC Groningen this summer. Buijs is open to a return as a trainer at ADO Den Haag, where a replacement for the soon to leave Dick Advocaat is being sought.
Hans Kraay junior gives in the talk show van ESPN on Sunday morning that he has heard through-via that Buijs has already said ‘no’ to the Emmen club management. “I have spoken with Emmen, yes”, the forty-year-old coach slightly avoids Kraay’s question. “I don’t know if they wanted to choose me, but I have indicated that I will not do that.

“Do you have contact with ADO?”, Kraay then wants to know from Buijs, who was fired from KV Mechelen last October. “In the winter I had a few concrete options. Then I deliberately waited,” the currently clubless coach replies. “And a few weeks ago there was interest from the Netherlands and abroad. But my preference is to stay in the Netherlands. So at the moment I am not talking to anyone in concrete terms,” Buijs emphasizes, previously in his own country working for FC Groningen.
Kraay then wants to hear from Buijs, who was active as a player for ADO between 2009 and 2011, whether he is interested in returning to The Hague. “I’m not going to say ‘no’ in advance, Hans, because ADO is also special to me. I played there for a few years and then had a great time. It is a very special club, also a difficult club. That is the in recent years, but I don’t know what they will do towards the new year.”
