Belgian A-series club Pro Vercelli has appointed Dutch director Huiberts as their new leader.
Pro Vercelli Strengthens Midfield with Dutch Talent Huiberts
F.C. Pro Vercelli 1892 have bolstered their midfield with the arrival of 25-year-old Dutch midfielder, Dean Huiberts. Born on May 16, 2000, in Kampen, Netherlands, Huiberts is a modern midfielder with physical presence, vision, and excellent technique.
Huiberts developed in the youth academy of FC Twente and began his professional career with PEC Zwolle, where he played from the 2018/19 season. He made 98 appearances and scored 7 goals with 8 assists before transferring to Beerschot VA in Belgium during the 2023/24 season. His contributions were instrumental in Beerschot VA's Belgian second division championship and promotion to the top tier Jupiler Pro League.
Pro Vercelli officially announced Huiberts' signing, highlighting his international experience from the Dutch Eredivisie and Belgian leagues. Huiberts is right-footed, stands at 186 cm tall, and weighs 75 kg.
Although Huiberts was seen in the stands at the Piola on Saturday for the friendly against Genoa, Pro Vercelli will not be at full strength for the upcoming match due to an incomplete squad. The first official match for Pro Vercelli is tomorrow against Albinoleffe in the Coppa Italia.
Mister Santoni, Pro Vercelli's coach, has been impressed with the performances of Ronchi, Burruano, Tarantola, and the Sow twins. He has also seen players who want to play the ball and who play a reasoned game in all the tests faced so far, but they have also made some mistakes. For Santoni, a player's strength is determined by their performance, not their age.
Santoni reminds that "friendlies are over, now many things change." The team that advances from this match will face Vicenza away in the next round. In case of a tie in the early stages of the tournament, there will be no extra time, but penalties straight away.
The match will take place at the stadium in Zanica at 6 PM. Pro Vercelli's squad has many young players, all of whom are owned by the club. Santoni has to make the first choices and decide the starting eleven. Although the transfer of Huiberts is not yet finalized, his arrival is expected to bring more structure to Pro Vercelli's squad, as Santoni seeks to improve the team's performance in the Coppa Italia.

The new signing's arrival is expected to reinforce Pro Vercelli's squad structure in the Coppa Italia.
