Robert KLAVER is the new manager for the Dutch major league team Media Monks RCH. He succeeds Ramses MEERING, who led RCH to twelve victories in the 2007 season. KLAVER was the head coach of Konica Minolta Pioniers since 2002. He won the cup winner’s cup in 2003 and the super cup in 2004. They also reached the playoffs in four years. He has already played and coached for RCH. So he knows the club really well.
The team will have a new look in 2008. KLAVER welcomes eleven new faces, four players are leaving the Media Monks. Tomas CASA and Jakub MALIK are coming from the Czech Republic. Jimmy VAN DER VELDT, Jean-Paul GULINCK and Robin LONGHORST played for Kinheim. Tony WILFFERT follows KLAVER from the Pioneers.
Jan DRABEK (Czech Republic), Bobby VAN DUUREN (Ado), Ryan MURPHY (Amsterdam Pirates) and Alexander PLASKE (DSS) say goodbye.
