Parsons fired looks back for first time: ‘should have listened to Louis van Gaal’

Parsons fired looks back for first time: ‘should have listened to Louis van Gaal’

Mark Parsons spoke for the first time in an interview with the American sports website The Athletic about his resignation as national coach of the Orange Women. The Brit was sidelined after a disappointing European Championship which saw the Netherlands knocked out by holders France in the quarter-finals.

“It was the toughest job in women’s football and I gave everything I had,” said Parsons. “The staff were excellent, the players were excellent. It was a very, very challenging course. It wasn’t a perfect match either…”

“part of my problem”

Parsons succeeded Sarina Wiegman at Orange Women, who led the Netherlands to the 2017 European Championship and 2019 World Cup final. “When they called I knew this was going to be the greatest job I could have ever done. That’s part of my problem: the bigger the challenge, the more it excites me.”

Parsons has a bad feeling about the Dutch media.

“The Dutch media are interesting. Louis van Gaal warned me when I first met him. “Mark, don’t think for a second that the media will support you here, first foreign coach. National coach for fifty years. I should have listened to him better.'”
