**Jeroen Stekelenburg maintains a “purely professional relationship” with national team coach Ronald Koeman. That’s according to the NOS reporter who covers the Dutch national team, in an interview with weekly magazine *Panorama*.**
On the eve of the World Cup, Stekelenburg is interviewed in detail. In the coming month, the journalist will have daily contact with the Dutch national team, but this doesn’t create any personal bond.
Stekelenburg describes a professional relationship. “‘We simply shake hands and he moves on.'”
“‘Sometimes, when we’re about to start an interview with a player, Memphis Depay for example, Koeman wants to listen in a bit before I interview him. In those moments, we don’t exchange many words; things remain very quiet.'”
“‘Our relationship is purely professional, so professional that when he is a guest on Studio Voetbal, I don’t sit at the table,’ Stekelenburg states.” Here’s the extracted information from the provided text:
