Pieper started three years ago as coach of the second team of DOS '46. After one year he moved up to the first team, following the departure of Henk Jan Mulder and Friso Boode. Last season DOS '46, with Pieper and assistant coach Tom Stoffelsen, retained the Dutch outdoor title.
Pieper says he is grateful for the trust he received from DOS '46 to take his first steps as a head coach. ‘After three years and good, open conversations, the club and I see the long term slightly differently. That is why the end of this season is a natural moment to look for a different environment’, said Pieper.
According to technical manager Daniël Hulzebosch, they were three great years. ‘He grew into head coach, with the outdoor title as the highlight. That is a tremendous achievement for the young coach’, said Hulzebosch.

The club's announcement does not mention a new club for Pieper. DOS '46 is still in talks with Stoffelsen and with Kelvin Borrink, the coach of the second team. More clarity on that will follow later.
