Netherlands knows referee for quarter-final against Turkey
Clément Turpin will be the first official for the European Championship quarter-final between the Netherlands and Turkey on Saturday. The 42-year-old Frenchman will be supported on the sidelines by compatriots Nicolas Danos and Benjamin Pages, while Jérôme Brisard will serve as video referee. Felix Zwayer, who refereed the match between the Netherlands and Romania on Tuesday, will be the fourth official in Berlin.
Turpin has already been in charge of the opening match between Germany and Scotland at this European Championship. It is the first time since November 2021 that he has refereed an Oranje match. At that time, the team of then national coach Louis van Gaal won the World Cup qualifier against Norway 2-0 in De Kuip.
Peter Bosz wins Rinus Michels Award
Peter Bosz has won the Rinus Michels Award for the best coach of the past Eredivisie season. In doing so, he shakes off René Hake (Go Ahead Eagles), Rogier Meijer (NEC), Joseph Oosting (FC Twente) and Arne Slot (Feyenoord).
For Bosz it was an extremely successful first season at PSV. He convincingly won the national title and claimed the Johan Cruijff Shield. He also reached the round of 16 of the Champions League. Incidentally, the award for best coach of the Keuken Kampioen Divisie went to Dick Lukkien of FC Groningen.
Lionel Messi not against Peru
Argentina will be without Lionel Messi during the final group match of the Copa América against Peru. The 37-year-old star player is struggling with hamstring problems, which means he will have to miss the match in Miami. National coach Lionel Scaloni will also not be present against Peru. The Argentine has been suspended for one match because his team was too late back on the field after the break in the previous match against Chile.

Not very promising: both times the match was lost: 2-3 (2016) and 1-2 (2023).
