Soest – John van Loen was already a trainer in China and Azerbaijan. The former striker of FC Utrecht trained the amateurs of Roda’46, CSV Apeldoorn, SVL and VVZ’49 in the Netherlands. Now the former international has settled in Georgia, where a hellish task awaits him. Locomotive Tbilisi is at the bottom of the top division and has eighteen games to make up a 17-point deficit. “You have to use a magic wand to get that done,” says Van Loen.
