The future looks bright for Jozy. Altidore signs a 4 year contract in Holland

“This could be the turning point in the career of Jozy we are all waiting for. The last 3 years were more or less disappointing (Villareal in Spain, Hull City in England, Bursaspor in Turkey), but this new opportunity could be a blessing, including  for the US National Team. I am sure he will get a lot of playing time and the style in Holland plays perfectly into Jozy’s strength. He just needs to get fit as soon as possible after his injury at the Gold Cup in order to get the starting position there. AZ is a great club. Many years ago I represented an Austria National Team forward, Kurt Welzl, who also played for AZ Alkmaar. They love these kind of players”, says Dr. Schulz, who trained Josmer from the age of 8 to 16.
