New blood for SBV Vitesse

With 2018/19 marking his first season at the club, Leonid Slutsky came with a solid managerial background, forged predominantly in Russia. The latter days of his time in Russia culminated in him managing giants CSKA Moscow and the Russian national team, before a spell with English club Hull City. He impressed his new club almost instantly, keeping hold of Tim Matavz and Bryan Linssen, both of whom were linked with moves away from the club in the summer of 2018. Together, the vice-captains plundered twenty-nine Eredivisie goals in 2017/18 and undoubtedly contributed to the popularity of buying and selling SBV Vitesse tickets on StubHub! At the back, Vitesse also have a reliable captain in the shape of Maikel van der Werff. After joining the club in 2015, his combative streak enabled Vitesse to climb the table. The opening game of 2018/19 marked the start of his fourth season at the club, and as a long-term captain, he provides stability that is the envy of many teams. In the summer of 2018, Slutsky signed a number of new players, most notably Matus Bero, an attacking midfielder from Turkish club Trabzonspor for €1.6m.

A club made for Eredivisie football

Founded in 1892, SBV Vitesse is the second-oldest professional club in the Netherlands. After Karel Aalbers bought the club in 1984, there was a period of relative calm. However, the dawn of the 21st century saw the club battle against bankruptcy on numerous occasions. In 2010, fortunes took an upturn, with businessman Merab Jordania buying them out. The situation stabilised again, culminating in the 'Arnhemmers' winning major silverware (the KNVB Cup in 2017) for the first time ever. Undeniably, a club with Vitesse's history of producing and nurturing talent belongs in the top flight of Dutch football. In previous years, big names like Philipp Cocu, Roy Makaay and Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic have all spent time there - and emerged much the better for it. While Ajax, Feyenoord and champions PSV Eindhoven may remain out of reach for some time, there is optimism like never before at the GelreDome. That is why the best time to buy SBV Vitesse tickets on StubHub is now!
