Dutchman Eelco Schattorie is no longer United SC coach, resigns from his post

42 year old Dutchman Eelco Johannes Christiaan Schattorie is no longer the head coach of Kolkata-based I-league side United SC after he handed in his resignation yesterday.

United SC has been struggling financially for months after their title sponsor Prayag Group had to pull out due to their involvement in the chit fund scam and the club officials have been trying to find alternative sponsors to replace their old one’s, but their extensive search hasn’t seen any success.

In a statement on social media, Eelco Schattorie said, “I resigned from my job as my clubs financial situation is to bad to continue. In the end I am a professional. I thank my Boss Nabab Bhattacharya and all other officials for the fantastic cooperation. All of you did extremely your best and still are trying to survive. My deepest respect and wish you all the best!”

“With pain in my heart I leave my players who did their best till the last day andIi wish them all the best for the rest of the season. Keep fighting and earn a good offer for the future to come. All the best and maybe till in the near future,” Schattorie added.
