Raymond van Barneveld corrects incorrect reporting: no manager axe but contract extension for 'Barney'

It was recently reported in the media that Raymond van Barneveld had ended his cooperation with manager Ben de Kok and trainer Iwe Kuitert, but the story seems to be different from the rumours as he reports on X.

His cooperation with Kuitert has indeed come to an end after three years, however, De Kok is still the manager and sponsor of the 56-year-old Hague native on behalf of the company Bengi.

Indeed, instead of a cessation of cooperation, the contract has even been extended for three years. ''We are going to make a new attempt to find my way back to the top. I am incredibly confident in 2024 that this is going to work out well with Ben together,'' the five-time world champion wrote.
